Etheline, derived from the Greek 'Aethele' meaning 'pure,' is an uncommon yet elegant given name. It has a unique sound and spelling, making it distinctive and memorable. Etheline's pronunciation closely resembles that of 'Etta,' with emphasis on the second syllable: /ETH-uh-leen/. This name was more prevalent in the late 19th century but remains timeless and appealing today.
"Etheline was quite popular as a baby girl name early last century, peaking around WWI with over 20 births per year from 1916 to 1923. After the war, popularity declined steadily, reaching just five births in some years by mid-century."
