Davine
Meaning of Davine
Davine emerges as a unisex appellation of intriguing etymological depth, likely rooted in the Latin divinus, “divine,” and thus evoking a subtle resonance of celestial grace. Although its precise genealogical pathway remains a subject of scholarly debate—some trace it to the Scottish feminine Davina or to medieval French surnames—its contemporary usage in the United States reflects a measured yet persistent presence. First recorded in national birth data during the 1930s, when it briefly attained a peak rank of 579 in 1937, Davine has since oscillated within the lower echelons of the top 1,000, most recently settling between ranks 936 and 948 with eight annual occurrences in 2022 and 2024. This steady pattern suggests that, far from a fleeting trend, Davine endures as a quietly sophisticated choice, offering parents a name that is at once academically grounded and imbued with the timeless warmth of Latin heritage. Pronounced “duh-VEEN” (/dəˈvin/), it stands ready to bestow upon its bearers an undercurrent of refined distinction.
