Charine is a rare feminine name whose roots are generally traced to the Greek Charis, "grace" or "kindness," via modern forms like Charis/Charisse, and to the French/Latin Carine-Carina line meaning "beloved" (from Latin carus, "dear"). The initial Ch- encourages a French-influenced pronunciation (sha-REEN), and the suffix -ine aligns it with French diminutives. Because of these converging streams, the name is commonly taken to carry the layered sense of "graceful" and "dear."
