Kareen is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 742 additional births since 1972.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kareen performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 237 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Kareen shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 97 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Pennsylvania. In total, SSA state-level files list Kareen in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kareen 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 1,306 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
