Is Corene a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Corene has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 109 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Corene: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Corene, and how old are they?
1,130 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 29% of the 3,919 Americans ever recorded as Corene. The median Corene alive today is 67 years old; half are between 53 and 81.
The 2020 Census counted 1,264 people named Corene (1,261 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,427 born in the U.S. The Census count is 11% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Corene is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Corene is most over-represented in Georgia: since 1910 it was given 3.9 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Corene with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 107,544 babies since 1880, Corene is the fifth most given (3.6% of them). In 2025 none of their 328 babies recorded by SSA was a Corene (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
