What the Data Says About Carleen

The Social Security Administration has registered 6,744 babies named Carleen between 1908 and 2022, spanning 115 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Carleen currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2022. The name reached its historical peak in 1961, when 168 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Carleen performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 1,498 births during that ten-year window. Across the 13 decades of recorded activity, Carleen shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 645 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Michigan. In total, SSA state-level files list Carleen in 32 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Carleen in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 6,744 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
