What is the meaning of the name Virginie ?

The baby name Virginie is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /viʁ.ʒi.ni/.

Virginie is French, Latin in Origin.

Virginie is the French form of Latin Virginia, known in Roman tradition as Verginia/Virginia, the name of the plebeian heroine in Livy. The Latin form is usually connected with virgo, genitive virginis, a maiden or virgin, with the feminine name ending -ia; older spellings with e reflect the Roman nomen Verginius. Its literal sense is therefore maiden, virgin, rather than the later abstract idea of purity.

In France the name belongs to the same Christian vocabulary that honored virginal saints and the Virgin Mary, but its modern profile was strongly shaped by Bernardin de Saint-Pierre’s novel Paul et Virginie, published in 1788. It remained chiefly French-speaking, with bearers in Belgium, Quebec, and francophone families elsewhere. English-speaking countries generally preferred Virginia; U.S. records show Virginie as rare, with small early-twentieth-century registrations and little recent use.
