History & Origin

Hazelene is an elaboration of Hazel, from the Old English haesel, the hazel tree, finished with the fashionable -ene ending. Hazel was a top nature name in the early twentieth century, and lengthened forms like Hazelene appear in records of the nineteen-twenties and thirties.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 1932, and it faded by mid-century. A girl named Hazelene then would be a great-grandmother today.

Did you know? Hazelene rides two early-1900s fashions at once - the nature name Hazel, hugely popular then, and the -ene ending that also produced Pauline, Marlene, and Charlene.
