Daphine

Meaning of Daphine

Daphine, pronounced DAF-een (/ˈdæfˌiːn/), feels like a sunlit whisper of ancient Greece tucked into modern life—a sprightly sister to Daphne, drawn from the Greek word for “laurel,” that evergreen symbol of victory and poetic inspiration. Imagine her dancing through a grove of gloriously green leaves, each step echoing tales of Apollo’s longing and hard-won laurels for triumphant poets; that’s the kind of quiet confidence she brings. Warm as freshly baked bread and bold as a brushstroke of emerald on white marble, Daphine carries both a deep mythological pedigree and a breezy contemporary charm, ready to crown any little girl with timeless grace and playful spirit.
