Idaline is English, Germanic in Origin.

Idaline is a vintage feminine name formed by blending Ida with the French-influenced diminutive suffix -line/-lina. Ida itself comes from the Old High German element id, meaning work or activity, so Idaline carries the sense of industrious or active one. The shape of the name was likely encouraged by contemporaries such as Adeline and Emmeline, giving it a refined, 19th-century salon feel while preserving the sturdy Germanic core of Ida.

Evidence for Idaline appears in English-speaking parish registers and U.S. census rolls from the mid-1800s into the early 20th century, after which it declined and today reads as a rare, antique choice with revival potential. Close relatives and spellings include Idalina (Portuguese/Spanish), Ideline, Idalene, Idelyn/Idalyn, and the Scandinavian-tinged Idoline; related base forms are Ida and, by analogy, Adeline. Common nicknames are Ida and Lina.
