Penine Origin and Meaning
The name Penine is a girl's name.
Penine is a rare feminine name that may derive from several sources. It could be a variation of Penina, a Hebrew name meaning 'pearl,' mentioned in the Bible as one of the wives of Elkanah. Alternatively, it might relate to the Pennine mountain range in England or represent a creative spelling of Peninnah. The name has a delicate, refined sound with its soft consonants and clear ending. Penine carries associations with natural beauty and preciousness through its potential pearl connection. The name remains quite uncommon in most English-speaking countries, offering distinctiveness to those who bear it. Its melodic three syllables and feminine ending vowel give it an elegant quality despite its rarity.
