Meaning & origin
Davine has never been among the top 1,000 names in the United States. The name was first recorded in 1937, but its highest level of usage came in 2010, with a small spike that year. Since 2010, its frequency has been declining. While Davine is extremely rare nationwide, it has seen scattered use across a few states, though none stand out as a particular stronghold. Parents drawn to Davine often appreciate its melodic, somewhat literary sound and the popularity of similar vintage feminine names ending in -ine.
Davine is a modern feminine elaboration of David, which derives from the Hebrew root d-w-d meaning beloved. While David has ancient biblical roots, the form Davine appears to have emerged in the 20th century, particularly in English-speaking countries, as part of a trend of creating feminine variants ending in -ine or -ene.
