History & Origin
Adine is best read as a variant of Adina, the Hebrew name for something 'delicate' or 'slender', once also carrying a sense of 'noble'. Alternatively it reads as a clipped Nadine. The two routes lend it either a biblical or a French flavor, and which a family meant is uncertain.
It appears very thinly in American records in the early last century and reached its faint peak in the nineteen-twenties. A girl given Adine then would belong to a great-grandmother generation today.
