Corlene is in Origin.
Corlene is a modern English feminine name, likely created in the United States by blending Cora (ultimately from Greek Kore, "maiden") or Coral with the popular mid-century suffix -lene (seen in Darlene and Jolene). It can also be interpreted as a clipped variant of Coraline or a parallel to Carlene/Carline, connecting it tangentially to the Germanic Karl/Charles ("free man"). Because it is a recent coinage, no single etymology is definitive, but these strands account for its sound and associations.
Documented usage is rare and largely American, surfacing sporadically in the early-to-mid 20th century during the vogue for -lene endings. Corlene has never been a mainstream chart name, which lends it a tailored, vintage-light feel today. Variant spellings and near-forms include Corleen, Corline, Corlena, and Corlina; related names are Coraline, Carlene, and Cora. Possible nicknames include Cora, Cori/Cory, and Lena/Leni.
