Onorine is French in Origin.
Onorine is a rare French feminine given name from the Latin honor, honoris, meaning “honor, esteem, dignity.” It corresponds to Honorine; because initial h is silent in French, historical records sometimes omit it, yielding Onorine. The -ine ending reflects a feminine formation aligned with Late Latin Honoria/Honorina and related Romance developments.
Linked to the veneration of Sainte Honorine, a late antique martyr especially honored in Normandy, the name appeared intermittently in medieval France and experienced modest revival in the 19th century, with later pockets in Francophone regions and in communities influenced by Italian Onorina. Variants and cognates include Honorine (standard French), Onorina/Onorina (Italian), Honorina (Spanish/Portuguese), Honoria and Honora (English/Latin), and the virtue-name Honor; related forms include Honorée/Honoré. Contemporary diminutives such as Nori and Nora occur. The overall sense evokes honor, respectability, and integrity.
