Haline is Greek in Origin.

Haline is a rare modern feminine name with several credible roots. In Brazil and other Lusophone settings, it is commonly an ornamental respelling of Aline, the French form of Adeline, from Germanic adal “noble.” It is also sometimes treated as a variant of the Polish name Halina (related to Ukrainian Halyna/Galina), ultimately from Greek Galēnē, meaning “calm, tranquility.” A more poetic etymology draws on Greek háls/halós, “salt, sea,” reading the Hali- element as sea-related, a sense familiar from words like haline and halophyte.

Documented usage is recent, rising from the late twentieth century with creative spelling trends and wider global name exchange; it remains uncommon in English-speaking countries and most of Europe. Variants and cognates include Aline, Adeline, Adelina, Alina, Halina, Halyna, and Galina. Nicknames range from Hali/Hally to Lina. Depending on derivation, meanings offered include noble, serene, or of the sea.
