Shailene is a name with so many possible origin stories and meanings that your little one will delight in choosing their favorite. The most likely of all stems from the Old German girl's name, Charlene, meaning "free," a reflection of baby's spirit and will. An alternative theory comes from Ireland due to the spelling of the name Shaylene. Translating to "stately" and "majestic," this could easily refer to little Shailene's inner and outer beauty. An even more exotic-sounding mix is the blend of the Hebrew name Shai, meaning "gift," and the Greek Lene, meaning "light." Baby Shailene can combine them all and thank you for the free gift of natural radiance and beauty.
