Laine Origin and Meaning

The name Laine is a girl's name meaning "bright, shining light; wave".

Lainey is one of the many fast-rising nickname names of the last few years, and longer forms like Elaine, Alaina, and Delaney are enjoying their own bouts of popularity. Simple and tailored, but equally sweet Laine is not yet in the Top 1000, but feels stylish today.

As an Estonian and Latvian name, it is a word name connected to the ocean, but also pronounced with two syllables as LIE-neh.
