How to Pronounce Deneane
Pronounced duh-NEEN /dəˈniːn/Medium
Meaning: Deneane is a mid-century American coinage, an ornamented spelling of Denean or Denine that echoes Denise and Deanne. The doubled vowels dress up a simple two-beat sound rather than adding a separate meaning, so its appeal is chiefly musical.Low

History & Origin
Deneane is a coined American girls' name that appears in the mid-1960s. It reads as an elaborated form of Denean or Denine, cousins of Denise and Deanne, with the extra vowels there for ornament rather than a new meaning. It belongs to a moment when parents freely restyled a familiar sound into a personal spelling.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year in the mid-1960s and quickly rare after. A woman named Deneane from then is now in her sixties.
