Divine is English in Origin.
Divine is a modern English given name taken from the adjective divine, ultimately from Latin divinus "of a god, sacred, excellent," by way of Old French divin. In Early Modern English, a "divine" was also a theologian or cleric, a sense that colors the name’s religious aura. As a personal name it gained visibility in the late 20th and 21st centuries, used for all genders in English-speaking countries and widely in Nigeria, Ghana, and Zimbabwe under Christian influence.
The core meaning is "godlike, heavenly, sacred," with an added colloquial sense of "excellent." Close variants include Divina (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese), Divino (masculine in Romance languages), and French Divin/Divine; creative spellings such as Dyvine or D'Vine also occur. Note that Devine is an Irish surname (Ó Duibhín) sometimes confused with Divine but etymologically distinct.
