Pauleen

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Pauleen: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1974.

Pauleen is a feminine given name derived from the Latin Paulus, meaning "small" or "humble," making it a variant of the classic Pauline. The most notable bearer is the Filipino actress Pauleen Luna, known for her work in television and film, while the name also shares its roots with the apostle Saint Paul, though no direct female saint by this exact spelling is widely recorded. No major geographic locations bear the name Pauleen, but it echoes the same humble origin found in places like São Paulo, Brazil. As a mid-20th-century variant, Pauleen saw modest popularity in English-speaking countries during the 1940s and 1950s, offering a slightly softer, more melodic alternative to the more common Pauline
