Earleen is English in Origin.

Earleen is an English feminine given name formed from the title Earl plus the feminine/diminutive ending -een/-ene. Its root is Old English eorl, cognate with Old Norse jarl, denoting a nobleman or warrior; by extension, Earleen carries the meaning “noble” or “of noble rank.”

The name emerged in the United States in the early 20th century amid a vogue for -lene/-leen names and title-derived creations. It enjoyed modest use from the 1920s through the 1950s before declining and is now uncommon. Variants include Earlene (the most prevalent form), Earline, Earlena, and Earlina, with Earleen as an alternative spelling; the related masculine name is Earl. Short forms and nicknames include Earlie, Leen, and Lena. In historical records, Earleen appears less frequently than Earlene, but all forms share the same “noble” etymology and gently vintage, mid-century American flavor.
