Arvine
Meaning of Arvine
Arvine is a masculine name with Germanic roots, likely deriving from the elements er(i) “honor” and wine “friend.” It also appears in Scottish records as a surname meaning “green water,” hinting at a subtle link to natural landscapes. Pronounced ahr-VEEN in both British and American English, Arvine enjoyed modest use in the United States from the 1920s through the 1940s, ranking in the 500s and registering fewer than ten newborns per year at its peak. Today it remains rare, appealing to parents who value a blend of tradition and individuality without veering into the unconventional. Its understated quality conveys reliability, while its vintage pedigree lends a quiet sense of heritage. And should your child be one of only half a dozen Arvines born in a given year, they can take comfort in knowing their name is as distinctive as it is time-honored.
