History & Origin

Haroldine is a feminine of Harold, from Old Norse and Old English here, 'army', and weald, 'ruler'. The -ine ending, as in Geraldine, let families pass a father's name to a daughter, a common early-1900s custom.

Haroldine was always very rare, cresting around 1929 with only a few dozen girls a year and gone from the rolls by about 1950.

Did you know? Haroldine turns Harold into a girl's name just as Geraldine came from Gerald; the root means 'army ruler'.
