Overview

Karen is a given name and occasional surname. In English, it is a feminine given name derived from the name Catherine, and it is also found in modern Africa, as well as in East Asia (particularly Japan). However, in other countries such as Iran and Armenia, it is a masculine name deriving from Middle Iranian. English Karen entered the English language from Danish, where it has been a short form of "Katherine" since medieval times. It became popular in the English-speaking world in the 1940s. The name Karen was one of the top 10 names for girls born in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, peaking as the third most popular girl's name in 1965. Variants include Caren, Caryn, Karena, Karin, Karyn, and others. Due to its increasingly common derogatory use since 2017, the name has become significantly less popular in the United States in recent years.
