"Blend of Sha and lene"
The name Shalene is commonly a female name from the "American" origin.
Shalene is a twentieth-century American formation. It joins the "Sha-" element seen in names such as Sharon and Sheila to the "-lene" ending of Charlene, Darlene and Marlene. Names built on this pattern appear in United States birth records from the 1930s onward, and Shalene is first recorded there in 1963.
The pronunciation of Shalene is shuh-LEEN.
