Séverine is French, Latin in Origin.
Séverine is the French feminine counterpart of Séverin, built on Latin Severinus, a Roman derivative of the cognomen Severus. The earliest relevant form is the classical Latin adjective severus, used as a personal name and family cognomen, with the literal sense stern, serious, grave. French adds the feminine ending -ine to Séverin; the acute accent marks the initial closed e in standard orthography.
Christian calendars kept Séverin and Severinus in circulation through saints bearing those names, while the feminine Séverine belongs chiefly to French naming practice. Its use rose sharply in France in the late 1960s and 1970s, then declined after the 1980s; unaccented Severine appears in records where diacritics are omitted. Cognates include Italian and Portuguese Severina and Polish Seweryna. Literary and film associations include Séverine Serizy in Joseph Kessel’s Belle de Jour and Buñuel’s 1967 adaptation.
