Delcine is in Origin.

Delcine is a rare feminine name shaped by French orthography, most often interpreted as a variant of Delcina/Delcinea, themselves stemming from Spanish Dulcinea, a literary coinage ultimately from Latin dulcis ‘sweet, pleasant’. In this reading, Delcine carries the sense of ‘sweetness’ or ‘delight’. Some onomasts also connect it to Delphine (French from Greek delphís/Delphi), which would lend the classical association of ‘Delphi’ or ‘dolphin’, though this link is secondary.

It appears sporadically in 20th‑century Francophone and Creole communities - Haiti, Louisiana, and Quebec - before occasional modern use in the wider Anglophone world. Variants and near‑forms include Delcina, Delcinea, and Delsine; related choices are Dulcinea, Dulcie, Delice, and Delphine. Nicknames range from Del and Della to Cee or Cina. Delcine remains uncommon, appreciated for its lyrical -ine ending, gentle meaning, and cross‑cultural adaptability.
