Galine is Armenian in Origin.

Galine is a rare international form of Galina, ultimately from Ancient Greek galene “calm, tranquility; a still sea.” Through Byzantine and Orthodox influence the name spread across Eastern Europe, where the Galina spelling dominated in Russia, Ukraine, and Bulgaria and enjoyed strong 20th-century use. In francophone contexts the variant Galine (often Galiné) appears, while contemporary Greek offers Galini. The name carries the serene sense of composure and peaceful seas.

Variants and cognates include Galina, Halyna (Ukrainian), Halina (Polish), Galena, Galini (Greek), Galene (ancient), and Galyna. Common diminutives are Galya, Galia, and Gala; a related masculine form is Galin. Although uncommon in English-speaking countries, Galine fits modern taste for liquid, vowel-rich names with gentle imagery. Notable bearers are better known as Galina - such as ballerina Galina Ulanova and soprano Galina Vishnevskaya - reinforcing the name’s cultured, graceful associations.
