Oldine is a rare feminine given name, most often encountered in Haitian Creole and other francophone communities. It is commonly explained as a French-influenced variant of Odeline/Odelina, medieval diminutives built on the Germanic element od/ot meaning “wealth, fortune, heritage,” yielding senses like “little wealth” or “prosperous one.” Its sound also overlaps with Scandinavian Oline/Olina (from Ole, ultimately Old Norse Óláfr “ancestor’s descendant, heir”), a connection that sometimes shapes modern interpretations even when the name’s use is francophone.

Documented sporadically in Caribbean and diaspora records from the early 20th century onward, Oldine remains uncommon in English-speaking registries. Related forms and near-variants include Odeline, Odelina, Odile, Aldine, Aldina, Oline, Olina, and Oldina. Short forms such as Oli, Dina, and Dine appear in use.
