Derine is a modern, predominantly feminine given name with several plausible roots.

English speakers may also read it as a creative relative of Irene (Greek Eirēnē, “peace”) or of Doreen, a 20th‑century diminutive of Dora, ultimately from Dorothea/Theodora (“gift [of God]”); some also connect it to Irish Doireann via Doreen.

Documented usage is rare but international, appearing sporadically from the late 20th century in the U.S., U.K., and South Africa, and among Turkish‑speaking families in the diaspora. Variants and cognates include Derin, Derina, Dorine/Doreen, Deryn (Welsh, “bird”), Irine/Irene, and the occasional Francophone spelling Dérine. Depending on lineage chosen, Derine can carry meanings of “deep,” “peace,” or “gift.”
