Myrrine is Greek in Origin.
From Ancient Greek Μυρρίνη (Myrrínē), Myrrine derives from μύρρα (myrrha), “myrrh,” the aromatic resin used in incense and anointing oils; the -ine (-ínē) ending marks a feminine name. The sense is “fragrant” or “of myrrh,” carrying associations of preciousness and sacred ritual.
The name appears in classical sources: Myrrhine is one of the Athenian women in Aristophanes’ Lysistrata, and epigraphic records show Myrrine/Myrrhine in Attica and Ionia. A close variant, Myrine (single r), names an Amazon queen in Greek myth and underlies the place-name Myrina in the Aegean. Modern use is rare but favored by Hellenophiles, with spellings and variants including Myrrhine, Myrine, and Myrina; short forms may be Myri or Rini. Related by sense rather than direct derivation are Myra and Miranda. Meaning: fragrant resin; sweet perfume; symbolic of devotion and gift-giving.
Myrrine turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. That usually points to a very rare, regional, or newly coined name. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
