Auline is a girl's baby name of Latin origin, a French-influenced diminutive of Aule or an elaboration related to Aurélie — from the Latin aureus, meaning 'golden.' The soft -ine ending is characteristic of French feminine names, adding a delicate, luminous quality.
Auline carries the warm glow of golden-rooted names — rare, quietly elegant, and with a vintage French charm that feels both antique and strangely fresh.
