Meaning & origin
Ardine is a gentle, vintage name that first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1918. It reached its peak of popularity in 1926, modestly used during the 1920s before gradually fading from common use. The name has remained stable in rarity since then, with no revival in recent decades. Its origins are somewhat obscure, likely an elaboration of the surname Ardin or a feminine variant of Arden, a name of Celtic origin meaning 'high' or 'valley.' Ardine has never ranked among the top 1000 names, and its top states of usage have not been significant enough to record, suggesting it was used sporadically across the country. For parents seeking a name that is both rare and reminiscent of early 20th century style, Ardine offers an uncommon choice with a soft sound.
