History & Origin

Charmine shadowed Charmaine's mid-century vogue. It appears in United States records from the late nineteen-fifties and reached its quiet high near nineteen-seventy.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, drifting off by the late nineteen-nineties. A girl named Charmine at that peak would be in her mid-fifties today. The spelling reads as a lighter variant of the parent.

Did you know? Charmaine gained fame through a nineteen-twenties song of that name, and its roots hover between the Latin carmen for song and the plain English word charm; Charmine simply smooths the spelling.
