Allene (pronounced ah-LEEN) is a modern American feminine given name. Linguistically it most often extends the nickname Allie with the fashionable -ene ending, or alternates with Alene/Aline. Through these roots it connects to Alice/Adalheidis in Germanic - “noble” or “of noble kind” - and, in some families, to Eileen/Helene, yielding the meaning “light, torch.” Less commonly, it is treated as a feminine spin on Allen/Alan, a Breton name interpreted as “little rock” or “harmony.”

In U.S. records Allene appears from the late 19th century, peaked between the 1910s and 1930s alongside Darlene, Arlene, and Charlene, and then waned, giving it a vintage charm today. Spelling variants and near-forms include Alleen, Alene, Aline, Allena, and Alena; cognates and related choices are Aileen, Eileen, and Alina. Common nicknames are Allie and Lena.
