What does the name Charlene mean?
Charlene is a feminine form of Charles. Behind the Name calls it a feminine diminutive, and Wikipedia says it was coined in the United States in the 19th century. Charles goes back through Old French and Latin Carolus to the Germanic Karl, which Wikipedia glosses as “free man”, so Charlene shares a root with Caroline and Charlotte.
Charlene nicknames and other forms
Behind the Name gives Charley, Charli, Charlie and Charly as short forms, along with the spellings Charleen, Sharleen and Sharlene. Wikipedia adds Charlyne. Charlie is the easy everyday pick.
Some famous Charlenes
Charlene, Princess of Monaco, swam for South Africa at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where her team finished fifth in the 4 x 100 meter medley relay, before marrying Prince Albert II. The singer known simply as Charlene had a worldwide hit with “I’ve Never Been to Me”; it flopped on release in 1977 but took off when it was reissued in 1982. On TV, Kylie Minogue played Charlene Robinson in Neighbours.
Charlene through the decades
Charlene had a long run in the middle of the century. US Social Security data has it in the top 200 from the 1930s to the 1960s, best at 115th in the 1940s and with the most births in the 1950s, when more than 32,700 American girls were named Charlene.
Did you know?
Princess Charlene met her husband at a swimming meet. Wikipedia says she was competing at the Mare Nostrum event in Monte Carlo in 2000 when she met Prince Albert; they married on July 1, 2011, and in December 2014 she gave birth to twins, Princess Gabriella and Hereditary Prince Jacques.

Who is it for and how she can use it
Whether Charlene is eight or eighty, a 6" x 9" notebook is a comfortable size: big enough to write in properly, slim enough to carry. The 160 lined pages don’t come with a set layout, so she decides what it’s for. Journal, planner, class notes, recipes, travel log or doodle book all work. And with her name on the cover, nobody will mistake it for theirs.
Why personalized works
Personalized gifts show you thought about the person, not just the occasion. A notebook with Charlene on the cover is affordable, useful every day and still feels special. It’s also a safe choice when you’re not sure of someone’s style, because everyone needs somewhere to write things down.
