Earline is English in Origin.
Earline is an English feminine given name built on Earl, the Old English title eorl “nobleman; warrior,” plus the feminine suffix -ine. By sense it means “noble” or “woman of noble rank,” and eorl is cognate with Scandinavian jarl. The form aligns with other Anglicized feminines ending in -ine, giving it a crafted-yet-traditional character rather than a separate etymology.
Documented in the United States from the late 19th century, Earline saw its greatest use between the 1910s and 1940s, especially in the South, before fading later in the 20th century. Common variants and spellings include Earlene (more frequent), Erline, Erlene, Earleen, and the rarer Earlina; related but distinct are Arlene/Arline. The masculine counterpart is Earl. Today Earline reads vintage and uncommon, with an approachable sound and a dignified meaning that keeps it suited to revival.
