History & Origin

Fayrene pairs Fay, from Middle English faie, 'fairy', with the -rene ending of Irene and Maureen. Such blends were a hallmark of early-1900s American naming, mixing a short first part with a flowing tail.

Fayrene was a small name of the South and Midwest, reaching its quiet peak around 1936 with only a few dozen girls a year and thinning away by the early nineteen-sixties.

Did you know? Fayrene builds on Fay, an old word for a fairy, the same root that gives us the phrase 'fay folk' and the name Morgan le Fay.
