Clementine
Meaning of Clementine
Clementine springs from the Latin “clemens,” meaning gentle and merciful, and the name carries that kindness like a soft shawl on a Delhi winter morning. First loved in Europe, then crooned in the bouncy folk song “Oh My Darling, Clementine,” it also brings to mind the plump orange that brightens Indian fruit stalls and breakfast tables alike. Vintage yet lively, the name has been climbing the U.S. charts again, shining like a little sun in the rankings. Its lilting “tyne” ending feels musical, promising a child who is warm-hearted, spirited, and ready to paint her own rangoli of adventures. For parents seeking a blend of old-world grace and zesty modern charm, Clementine offers a sweet, juicy yes.
