Amarine is in Origin.
Amarine is a rare French-leaning given name most plausibly formed as an embellished feminine of Marine, from Latin Marinus "of the sea." It also echoes the medieval name Amarin/Amarinus - borne by a 7th-century Gaulish saint commemorated in the Alsatian place-name Saint-Amarin - so some treat it as a modern feminine recasting. The name surfaces sporadically in Francophone registers in the late 20th century and has since been adopted in Anglophone settings. Contemporary ears also connect it with the horticultural hybrid Amarine (amaryllis x nerine), lending a refined, floral undertone.
Meanings vary by derivation: most read it as "of the sea" or "sea-born"; as a deliberate blend of Amara + Marine it can suggest "grace/favor of the sea" or "beloved of the sea." Variants and near-forms include Amarine, Amarina, Amaryne, Amaryn, and the masculine Amarin; related names are Marine, Marina, Maren, and Amara. Short forms: Ama, Mari, Rina.
