Harline is English in Origin.

Harline is a rare English given name that likely arose in the United States from the surname Harline/Harlin, or as a feminine elaboration of Harlan or Harley with the -ine ending common in French- and English-formed women's names. When traced to those surnames, the underlying elements go back to Old English place-names built on hara "hare" and leah/land "clearing, meadow, land," so Harline is often glossed as "hare's meadow/land."

It appears sporadically in American records from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century, sometimes used for boys but more often for girls, and has never been widespread. Close variants and cognates include Harlene, Harleen, Harlyn, and Harlen, with masculine counterparts Harlin and Harlan; related surname-derived cousins are Harley and Harlow. Spellings such as Harlynne or Harlyne occasionally surface. Because of its surname roots and gentle -line ending, Harline fits with modern preferences for tailored, vintage choices while remaining distinctive.
