US Popularity:11248
Origin:American
Meaning:Free man; Army; Peace
Careen is a feminine name and an elegant respelling of the literary title Carreen. First coined by American author Margaret Mitchell for her novel Gone with the Wind, Carreen is a clever combination of Caroline and Irene. Careen joins its closest variant as an invented American moniker with deep ties to other appellations. Caroline comes from Karl, a German title meaning "free man" or "army." Irene's roots lie in the Greek word eirēnē, which has the beautiful definition of "peace." Even if "I'll do it myself" is their favorite phrase for a while, your Careen will discover the joy and fulfillment that comes from accepting help and working together with others.
