Arlene

Where it comes from

A nineteenth-century coinage probably based on similar-sounding names such as Charlene and Arlette.

proper noun Arleen · Arline

A female given name originating as a coinage. Mama hated her own name, Arlene. "Arlene, Marlene, Darlene, they're all hayseed names," she deplored. Even more than Arlene, she hated Lena, which she'd been called in school, growing up.
