What is the meaning of the name Sandrine ?

The baby name Sandrine is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'French': '/sɑ̃.dʁin/', 'English': '/sænˈdriːn/'}.

Sandrine is French in Origin.

Sandrine is a French feminine form derived from Sandra, itself a short form of Alexandra/Alessandra. Its ultimate source is Greek Alexandros, from alexein “to defend” and anēr/andros “man,” giving the meaning “defender of men” or more broadly “protector of humanity.” The -rine ending fits a French pattern for elegant diminutives, lending the name a soft, lyrical sound.

In France the name gained real traction in the mid-20th century, peaking in the 1970s–1980s, and it remains familiar across the Francophone world, including Belgium, Switzerland, Quebec, and parts of West and Central Africa. Variants and related forms include Sandra, Sandrina (Italian/Portuguese), Sandrinha (Portuguese), Alexandra, Alessandra, Alexandrine, and Alexandrina; common nicknames are Sandy and Sandie. The masculine counterpart Sandro is related via Alessandro. Contemporary recognition is bolstered by French actresses Sandrine Bonnaire and Sandrine Kiberlain, which keeps the name stylish yet classically rooted.
