What the Data Says About Dorene

The Social Security Administration has registered 7,925 babies named Dorene between 1909 and 2007, spanning 99 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Dorene performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 2,152 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Dorene shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 902 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Michigan. In total, SSA state-level files list Dorene in 37 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Dorene 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 7,925 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
