History & Origin
Deneene is a coined American girls' name from the mid-1960s, a double-e restyling of Denean or Denine and a close cousin of Denise and Deanne. Like its sibling spellings, it carries no meaning of its own beyond the pleasant sound it shares with a whole cluster of D-names of the era.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year for a brief mid-1960s spell and rare after. A woman named Deneene from then is now in her sixties.
