What is the meaning of the name Serafine ?

The baby name Serafine is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /ˌsɛrəˈfiːn/; English: seh-ruh-FEEN; French: say-rah-FEEN.

Serafine is Hebrew in Origin.

Serafine is a feminine name rooted in the Hebrew seraphim, “fiery ones,” the six-winged angels of Isaiah. The word passed through Greek and Latin into medieval Europe, where Romance forms flourished. Serafine reflects the streamlined Germanic and international spelling alongside French Séraphine and the Latinate Seraphina/Seraphine; its core meaning evokes ardor, brightness, and exalted, angelic purity.

Usage clusters around Christian devotional culture: Saint Serafina (Fina) of San Gimignano and Blessed Seraphina Sforza sustained the name in Italy, while Séraphine appeared in France - famously borne by painter Séraphine Louis - and Serafine/Seraphine in German-speaking lands. Revived in recent decades with the vogue for vintage, lyrical names, Serafine offers accessible nicknames Sera, Seri, Fina, and Phina. Close variants include Serafina, Seraphina, Seraphine, and accented Séraphine; masculine counterparts are Serafino, Séraphin, Serafim, and Seraphim.
