Careen f
English: of recent origin and uncertain derivation. Its first appearance seems to have been in Margaret Mitchell's novel Gone with the Wind (1936), where it is borne by one of the sisters of Scarlett O'Hara (the other being Sue Ellen). The name may represent a combination of CARA (SEE Cara) with the hypocoristic suffix -een (of Irish origin; cf. MAUREEN (SEE Maureen)), or it may be an altered form of CARINA (SEE Carina).
