Karleen is a female first name.
Recently, the name Karleen has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Karleen. That means that a girl named Karleen is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Karleen.
If your name is Karleen your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Karleen never ranked higher than position 1,016 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Karleen. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1937 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Karleen because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Karleen was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Karleen still proves to be very exceptional. In 2022, for example, it was not given once in the entire U.S. - or, to be more precise, it was given at most four times, because names given less than five times in one year are not included in the official statistics. So if you know someone named Karleen who was born in 2022, please let us know - we would be very interested in hearing about it so that we can provide you with even more accurate statistics.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Karleen are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Karleen is registered in 11 states, among which are California, Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan or Minnesota. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Karleen live in Minnesota, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 58,557 would turn around if you called the name Karleen across Minnesota.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter K is a real popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 7.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A, S and M are more common for girls' names.
With seven letters, the name Karleen has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 7.5% of all girls' names start with a K, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average. Interesting detail: of all the girls' names that begin with a K, Karen is the most common.
If your name is Karleen and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
