Delphine is French in Origin.
Delphine is the French feminine form of Latin Delphina, a habitational name meaning “woman from Delphi,” the famed sanctuary of Apollo. Through shared roots with Greek delphis “dolphin,” it also evokes the graceful sea creature; the larkspur genus delphinium (from delphinion, “little dolphin”) reinforces the name’s maritime-and-botanical imagery. Usual pronunciation is del-FEEN in both French and English.
Recorded in medieval Provence via Blessed Delphina of Glandèves (1283–1358), Delphine gained salon polish with Madame de Staël’s novel Delphine (1802) and subsequently spread in 19th‑century France and into Victorian English use. The name saw periodic revivals in francophone countries in the late 20th century. Variants and cognates include Delphina, Delfina (Italian, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese), and Delphin/Delphinus for males; familiar forms are Delphie, Delphi, and Del.
