Karrine is English in Origin.

Karrine is a modern English respelling of Karine/Karin, names that trace to two intertwined traditions: the Katherine family and the Carina/Carine line. Through Karin (Scandinavian/German short form of Katherine) it links to Greek Aikaterine, commonly associated with katharos, “pure.” Through Karine/Carine (French) and Karina it also reflects Latin carus, “dear, beloved.” In Armenian, Karine is a well-established feminine name; French and Scandinavian forms further shaped the pan-European spread. Pronunciations for Karrine typically include kuh-REEN or KAIR-een.

Usage of Karrine appears primarily in late-20th-century records from English-speaking countries, where doubled consonants offered a distinctive twist on familiar Karine/Karina. The spelling remains rare but legible alongside cognates and variants such as Karine, Karin, Karina, Carina, Carine, Karen, Karyn, Kareen, and Karrin; short forms include Kari and Rina. Depending on which lineage one favors, Karrine can carry the meanings “pure” or “beloved,” both long-standing in European naming traditions.
