Jerine is English in Origin.
Jerine is a rare modern feminine given name in English with several proposed origins. It may be an elaboration of Jeri - a diminutive of Geraldine or Jerome - linking it to Germanic ger "spear" + wald "rule" (via Geraldine) or to Greek Hieronymos "sacred name" (via Jerome). Alternatively, some bearers use Jerine as a spelling variant of Irene, deriving the classical Greek eirene "peace." Regional pronunciations often yield forms that blur with Jerene or Jerrine.
Documented sporadically in English-speaking records since the early 20th century, Jerine fits the mid-century fondness for -ine endings yet has never been widespread. Variants include Jerene, Jerrine, Jereen, and Jerina; related short forms are Jeri, Geri, and Jerry. If taken as an Irene-variant, cognates include Irina and Irena; if from Geraldine/Jerome, see Geraldine, Geraldina, and Jeromine. Possible nicknames are Jeri, Rina, or Ren.
