Ruthine Origin and Meaning
The name Ruthine is a girl's name.
Ruthine is an uncommon feminine name that serves as an elaboration of the biblical name Ruth. While Ruth originates from Hebrew meaning "friend" or "compassion," Ruthine adds a distinctive French-inspired suffix that creates a more ornate variation. This rare name emerged primarily in the early to mid-20th century but never achieved widespread popularity. Ruthine offers the meaningful heritage of its root name with a touch of uniqueness and elegance. The name maintains the warm, virtuous connotations associated with Ruth while providing a more uncommon alternative. Ruthine might appeal to parents seeking a name with biblical roots but desiring something less frequently used than the classic Ruth.
