About Clementine
Clementine is a Nameberry favorite that broke back into the US Top 1000 in 2014 after more than half a century off the list.
A female variation of the more-unusual Clement, Clementine's meaning suggests peace and happiness, a lovely image. Other girls' names with similar meanings include Beatrice, Felicity, Hilary, Arcadia, Irina, and Mercy.
If "Oh, My Darlin'" still rings too loudly in your ears, consider pronouncing Clementine as Clementeen—or even using Clementina, which rhymes with Christina. Stylish Claudia Schiffer chose Clementine for her daughter, as did Ethan Hawke and Rachel Griffiths.
Kate Winslet played a character named Clementine in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And for a kid reference—there's a Muppet named Clementine.
As of October 2026, Clementine ranked #456 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #363 in 1882, Nameberry popularity #110.
Editor's take: The name Clementine is a girl's name of French, Latin origin meaning "mild, merciful".
