How to Pronounce Nadyne
Pronounced nay-DEEN /neɪˈdiːn/Medium
Meaning: Nadyne is a stylized spelling of Nadine, the French elaboration of the Russian Nadia or Nadezhda, meaning hope. Swapping the 'i' for a 'y' was a common way to freshen a familiar name, so Nadyne carries Nadine's meaning and sound with a slightly more decorative look.Medium

History & Origin
Nadyne is a decorative respelling of Nadine, which French speakers built from the Russian Nadia, itself short for Nadezhda, 'hope'. The 'y' spelling belongs to the early-twentieth-century taste for giving common names a distinctive twist.
It was never common, a few dozen girls a year around its faint high in the early nineteen-twenties, though it kept a faint pulse in records into recent decades. Its sound places it beside Nadine, Geraldine and Claudine.
