History & Origin

Uldine is one of the rarest names in this group and among the hardest to source. The most reasonable reading pairs an Uld-/Hulda element (Hulda being a Germanic and Scandinavian name meaning 'sweet' or 'hidden') with the stylish -ine ending, but it may simply be a coinage assembled for its sound. The honest answer is that its origin is uncertain.

Uldine appears only as a faint scattering in the early twentieth century, gone from the record within a couple of decades and never more than a handful of girls a year. It has a soft, unusual sound; with no settled meaning and no revival, it reads as a genuine old-record coinage.

Did you know? The -ine ending that finishes Uldine was one of the most productive in early-1900s America, spinning fresh names from all sorts of roots and fragments.
