Philine

A feminine form of an Ancient Greek name, Philine was popularized in the 18th century by the author Goethe, who used it in his novel Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship. Also spelled as Philina, it comes from the Greek philos meaning "friend, lover".

The name appeared in the Top 500 in The Netherlands in the 2010s and has been notably borne by musician Philine Sonny, footballer Philine von Bargen, and actress Philine Schmölzer. The Swedish lifestyle and beauty influencer Filippa Moulier also used the name for her daughter in 2025.
