Delfine Origin and Meaning

The name Delfine is a girl's name.

Delfine is a feminine name with French and Latin influences, functioning as a variant of Delphine. The name derives from Delphi, the ancient Greek city that was home to the famous oracle and considered the center of the world in Greek mythology. The Latin word 'delphinus' means dolphin, creating an additional association with these intelligent marine mammals that were sacred to Apollo. This spelling variation with an 'f' instead of 'ph' gives the classical name a slightly more modern and streamlined appearance. Delfine carries connotations of wisdom, intuition, and grace. While not as widely used as some French names, Delfine offers an elegant option with mythological depth and a subtle aquatic connection for parents seeking something distinctive yet melodious.
