Glendine is a unique and elegant female given name of Irish origin. It is derived from the Irish surname 'Ó Gleanndín', which means 'descendant of Gleann Dáinn'. The name Gleann Dáinn is believed to have been derived from the Old Gaelic words 'gleann' meaning 'valley' and 'daonn' meaning 'little dark one'. Therefore, Glendine can be interpreted as 'dark-haired girl from the valley', offering a poetic and charming image. This name has gained popularity in recent years due to its distinctive sound and its Irish heritage, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a unique yet meaningful name for their daughter.
"The name Glendine experienced modest popularity between 1918 and 1927, with a peak of nine births each in 1919 and 1926. After a gap from 1928 to 1932, it reappeared but at lower frequencies until the late 1940s. Post-1950, there's no record of this name, suggesting it may have fallen out of favor or was not widely used."
