Meaning & origin
Jeweline is a rare feminine name of modern English origin, first recorded in 1921. It reached its peak popularity in 1936, after which its usage declined sharply. The name follows a traditional pattern of combining a jewel-related root with a feminine suffix, similar to names like Ruby or Pearl. In the 1930s, it appeared occasionally in birth records but never entered wide usage. Today, Jeweline is exceedingly uncommon, with no significant revival. Its trajectory remains stable at very low numbers, placing it among the many invented names of the early 20th century that have since faded from favor.
Jeweline appears to be a modern English coinage, combining the fashionable -line suffix with the name Jewel, which itself derives from the English word for a precious gem. The name first recorded in the United States in 1921, following the pattern of similar feminine names like Jewelle or Jewella. It saw modest use in the early to mid-20th century, peaking in 1936, but has since become rare.
