Coreen is in Origin.

Coreen is a modern English feminine name, most commonly understood as a respelling of Corinne, the French form of Greek Korinna, a diminutive of Kore (“maiden,” an epithet of Persephone). Through this lineage, Coreen carries the meaning “maiden” or “young woman.” It can also be read as a blend or elaboration on Cora, itself derived from the same Greek root, which keeps the semantics consistent across variants.

Use of Coreen appears in English-speaking countries from the mid-20th century, likely encouraged by the Irish-sounding -een ending popular in names like Maureen and Eileen. Pronunciations include kuh-REEN and kor-EEN. Related and variant forms include Corinne, Corrine, Corine, Corinna, Corina, Cori, Cory, Cora, Korinne, and Koreen; diminutives such as Cori/Cory and Rina are common. While never a chart staple, Coreen offers a familiar sound with a classical pedigree and remains a distinctive alternative to Corinne or Cora.
