Ruthene is an uncommon, yet intriguing female given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'rutundus', which means round. This name was likely intended to evoke images of beauty and symmetry, much like a perfect sphere. In some cases, it may also be considered a variant spelling of the more familiar Ruth, which has roots in Hebrew meaning 'compassionate friend'. Despite its rarity today, Ruthene offers a unique and sophisticated option for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
Ruthene experienced a notable variation in births across these years, with the highest number recorded being 9 births each in 1928 and 1943. The peak of birth rates was reached between these two periods, while the lowest occurred during 1933 and 1937 with only 5 births each year. Despite fluctuations, the overall total of 60 births demonstrates a consistent presence of the name Ruthene in this period.
