Laverine
Laverine Origin and Meaning
Laverine is a feminine name that appears to be a variation of Laverne, which itself derives from French elements meaning 'spring-like' or 'alder grove.' This uncommon name reached its peak popularity in the United States during the 1920s-1940s, influenced by actress Laverne Andrews of the Andrews Sisters. Laverine, with its distinctive spelling featuring an additional 'i,' is an even rarer variation that offers a slightly more elaborate form. The name carries vintage charm while maintaining connections to nature through its French etymological roots. Though extremely uncommon in contemporary usage, Laverine might appeal to parents drawn to vintage revival names or seeking family connections to the more traditional Laverne. The name's flowing, melodic quality with three syllables (La-ver-ine) gives it an elegant, feminine sound with a touch of nostalgic appeal.
