Earnestine, of Latin origin, is an uncommon yet distinctive given name for females. It is derived from the Latin word 'earnestus,' which means 'serious' or 'sincere.' The name has gained some recognition over time but remains relatively rare, perhaps adding to its unique charm.
The name Earnstine experienced varying popularity throughout the years 1923 to 1957, with a total of 153 births recorded during this period. The highest number of births occurred in 1944 with 9 children named Earnstine born that year. However, the name's popularity seemed to decline after the 1930s, with only one year (1948) having more than 8 births and several years (1925-1927, 1928-1932, 1935, 1939-1940, 1942, 1945, 1952-1955) having no recorded births at all.
