Seraphine
Meaning of Seraphine
The name Seraphine is a beautiful and elegant choice for a baby girl, rooted in rich historical and cultural significance. Originating from the Hebrew word "seraphim," which refers to an order of angels known for their fiery passion and purity, Seraphine carries connotations of divine beauty and grace. Pronounced as SEHR-uh-feen in English and seh-rah-FEEN in French, this name exudes a timeless charm that transcends linguistic boundaries. While less common in recent years, with occurrences fluctuating modestly in the United States—35 newborns named Seraphine in 2023—the name has seen periodic bursts of popularity since the late 19th century. A notable variation is Seraphina, which shares the same celestial roots.
