Feline is Dutch, French, Latin in Origin.
Feline is a modern feminine given name drawing on the English and French word for “catlike,” ultimately from Latin felinus, derived from felis, “cat.” The core meaning evokes grace, agility, and quiet strength. In onomastic history it also overlaps with the Felix name family through the medieval Latin Felinus, which lends a secondary sense of “fortunate” or “happy,” though the cat-derived reading is the one most people recognize today.
As a given name it is rare in English-speaking countries but has seen modest contemporary use in parts of Europe, especially the Netherlands and Belgium, with occasional appearances in France and Scandinavia. Variants and related forms include Féline (French), Felina (Spanish/Italian), and the masculine Felino; nicknames such as Feli or Lina are common. The name’s stylish, nature-inflected aura and clear, international spelling have supported its quiet rise in recent years.
