Meaning & origin
Adine is a rare feminine name with roots likely in Hebrew, possibly as a variant of Adina or Adin. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1895, with its peak year of usage also in 1895, indicating a very brief and minor popularity during the late 19th century. Over the past 130 years, its trajectory has been stable but extremely low, never achieving a rank in national data. The name has not been recorded in any top U.S. states, reflecting its scattered, infrequent usage. With a 1-in-N ratio that is effectively immeasurable due to rarity, Adine remains a distinctive choice with a delicate sound. Its most common nickname, Addie, provides a more familiar option for those drawn to its vintage charm.
Adine may be derived from the Hebrew name Adina (עֲדִינָה), meaning 'slender' or 'delicate', or from Adin (עָדִין), a biblical name meaning 'voluptuous'. It has been used in English-speaking countries since the late 19th century, though it remains rare. The name may also be a variant of the French surname Adine or a feminine form of Aiden in some modern contexts, but these connections are less certain.
