History & Origin

Seraphine is the French form of Seraphina — from Hebrew seraphim, 'the burning ones', the highest order of angels in Isaiah's vision. Borne by St. Seraphina and the painter Séraphine Louis, it carries ornate, fiery elegance.

In the U.S. it is rare, rising with the romantic-maximalist revival beside Seraphina and Evangeline. Fiery-angelic at the root, ornate, and luminous.

Did you know? The seraphim — Seraphine's root — are the six-winged angels of Isaiah's vision, whose name means 'the burning ones'; they blaze nearest to the divine throne.
