Mooreena is Irish, Latin in Origin.

Mooreena is a modern feminine given name most likely formed as an embellished spelling of Moreena/Moreen, itself a variant of Maureen, the Anglicized Irish Máirín, a diminutive of Máire (Mary). Through this Irish line, the name carries the sense of "little Mary," with Mary traced to Hebrew Miryam, a name of uncertain meaning often interpreted as "beloved," "wished-for child," or "sea." The double-o in Mooreena gives it a contemporary look while preserving Gaelic roots.

In use, Mooreena is rare, appearing sporadically in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward, influenced by the mid-century popularity of Maureen. It also resembles the Romance-language name Morena ("brunette"), which may encourage the -a ending, though the origins are distinct. Related forms and variants include Moreena, Moreen, Maureen, Maurene, Maurine, Máirín, and Mairin. Possible nicknames are Mo, Mora, and Reena.
