Karine

Meaning of Karine

Karine is a French twist on Katherine, tracing its roots to the Greek word for “pure.” Pronounced kah-REEN, it glides off the tongue like a soft breeze on the Riviera. Only ten baby girls in the U.S. wore this name in 2023, landing it at rank 948—proof that something rare can feel like a secret treasure.

For parents craving a name that’s classic yet playful, Karine wraps its bearer in promise and sunshine. It’s a little adventure waiting to begin.
