Aleine, derived from the Occitan word 'alèina', is an uncommon yet charming female given name of French origin. It is a variant spelling of the more familiar Adelaine and Adeline, though it stands out for its unique phonetics, pronounced as 'ah-leen'. The name Aleine is believed to have evolved from the Germanic personal name 'Adelindis', which combines the elements 'adal' meaning noble, and 'lindis' meaning gentle. However, unlike its counterparts, Aleine has maintained a distinct identity, reflecting its rare usage throughout history. Today, it continues to be an appealing choice for parents seeking a uncommon yet elegant name for their daughter.
The name Aleine appears to have been relatively popular for newborn girls in the early 20th century, particularly around the years 1915, 1918, and from 1920 onwards. There were a total of 32 babies named Aleine born between these years.
