Lavine, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet striking given name for individuals. It is derived from the Latin word 'lavinus', which means "of laurel" or "laurel tree". Laurel was a plant sacred to Apollo in Greek mythology, symbolizing victory and triumph. Thus, Lavine could be interpreted as someone who embodies success or excellence. This name adds a touch of uniqueness and elegance, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking distinctive names for their children.
The name Lavine peaked in popularity during the early 20th century, with the most notable years being 1918 and 1921, when it was given to 11 and 10 babies respectively. However, it seems to have been quite inconsistent in its popularity throughout the century, with periods of relative obscurity following these peaks. By the mid-20th century, it had returned to a consistent low level of usage, with around 5 births per year from 1949 onwards.
