Eudine
A girl's name of Greek origin with 16 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Eudine peaked during early twentieth-century America, when 6 babies received this name in a single year (1921). That era was defined by heritage-rooted naming, and Eudine has a more concentrated history, reflecting a specific cultural moment rather than a broad generational wave.
Eudine is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Eudine is a rare feminine name — a variant of Eudine or Eudina, possibly related to the Greek prefix eu- (good, well) combined with the "-dine" ending. The Greek eu- prefix appears in beautiful names like Eugenia (well-born), Eulalia (well-spoken), and Euphemia (well-spoken of), giving Eudine the same air of classical Greek elegance.
Eudine has the vintage American quality of names that were created from Greek elements in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when classical names were fashionable but strict adherence to originals was not required. It's unusual and quietly lovely.
