Deline is in Origin.

Deline is a rare feminine given name, most plausibly a modern variant of Adeline or Delina, built on the French-derived suffix -ine. It is also attested in Afrikaans and Dutch circles alongside Delien and Delene, and is typically pronounced de-LEEN. As a diminutive of Adeline (from Old High German adal, “noble”), Deline can carry the meaning “nobility”; when treated as a clipped form of Madeleine/Magdalene, it may instead mean “of Magdala” or “tower.”

Use is sporadic in English-speaking countries from the early 20th century onward, with pockets of contemporary use in Southern Africa. Spelling and regional variants include Deleen, Delene, Delien, Delina, and Delyne; related forms are Adeline and Madeleine/Madeline. The name’s modern, streamlined shape fits with -ine endings like Celine and Aline while remaining distinctive, and nicknames such as Deli, Lina, or Dell offer flexible informal options.
