Meaning & origin
Morine is a rare feminine name that saw its highest usage in the early 1900s, with a peak in 1911, the year it was most frequently recorded. Despite never ranking in the top 1000, it appeared in Social Security records as early as 1910. The name's trajectory has been stable over the decades, neither experiencing a revival nor a dramatic decline, remaining a seldom-chosen option. Its origin is unclear, likely as a variant of Maureen or Morris, and its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon vintage name.
Morine likely originated as a variant of Maureen, itself the Irish English form of Mary, or as a feminine derivative of Morris, a surname from Maurice. It saw modest use in the early 20th century, particularly in the United States during the 1910s, but has since fallen out of common usage.
