Nicoline is a feminine name of Greek origin, functioning as a derivative of Nicholas (Nikolaos), which combines 'nike' (victory) and 'laos' (people), meaning 'victory of the people'.

The name offers a softer, more feminine alternative to Nicole or Nicolette. Nicoline carries a classic feel with a modern sensibility, making it both timeless and contemporary. While not among the most popular names, it has maintained steady usage throughout Northern Europe. The name lends itself to nicknames like Nico, Nicky, or Lina, providing versatility while maintaining its distinctive character.

Rosalie hit its apex in 1938 and then slid straight downhill until it fell off the U.S. Top 1000 completely in the 1980s, only to spring back to life in 2009 as the name of a character in the Twilight series. The beautiful vampire Rosalie Hale has breathed fresh life back into this mid-century name, and the fact that the character is both sympathetic and relatively minor means Rosalie has the chance to thrive again as a baby name without feeling unduly tied to Twilight.
