History & Origin

Willine belongs to a wave of home-made feminine names formed by adding endings like -ine, -ene and -etta to familiar roots.

The name was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1927, and it had faded from records by the late nineteen-fifties. A girl named Willine at that peak would be nearing a hundred today. It is best read as an honest early-century coinage.

Did you know? The Will- part links back to William, meaning resolute protector, while the -ine suffix was a favorite way of shaping soft feminine names in the early nineteen-hundreds.
