Meaning and history
Coleen is an English spelling variant of Colleen. Colleen comes from Irish cailín, meaning “girl” or “young woman,” and entered English-language naming particularly through Irish cultural influence. In Ireland itself, the ordinary noun was not traditionally used as a personal name in the same way. The single-l spelling does not change the origin. Notable bearers include British television personality Coleen Rooney and English singer Coleen Nolan.
