What is the meaning of the name Alleen ?

Alleen is English, Irish in Origin.

Alleen is a feminine given name in English-speaking contexts, often treated as a spelling variant of Aleen/Allene and related to Aileen/Eileen. Its roots are traced either to Irish Eibhlín (from Norman French Aveline), whose meaning is debated - variously linked to the Germanic Ava “desired” or to French aveline “hazelnut” - or to analogy with Helene, carrying the Greek sense of “light/torch.” The spelling also matches the Dutch and Afrikaans word alleen “alone; only,” which has influenced occasional South African use.

In the United States the name surfaces in late‑19th– and early‑20th‑century records alongside fashionable -ene/-een forms, but it remains uncommon today. Variants and cognates include Aleen, Allene, Alene, Aileen, Eileen, Arlene, and Aline; Allie is a typical nickname. Pronunciation varies by family, most often uh-LEEN or ah-LEEN.
