Davine is in Origin.

Davine is best understood as a streamlined variant of Davina, the Scottish feminine form of David; David ultimately comes from Hebrew Dawid, meaning 'beloved.' Records show Davina in Scotland from the 17th century, with modern creative spellings like Davine gaining traction in the late 20th and 21st centuries in English-speaking communities seeking a lighter, two-syllable look and sound (da-VEEN).

Some parents also interpret Davine as connected to Devine/Divine (the English word from Latin divinus), or as overlapping with the Irish surname and given name Devine (O Daimhin or O Duibhin). Accordingly, meanings in use range from 'beloved' to 'divine,' or, on the Gaelic side, 'little dark one' or 'fawn/poet' depending on the specific root. Variants and near-cognates include Davina, Davinia, Davena, Davene, Davin, Devine, Divine, and Davyne; short forms include Davi, Vina, and Davie.
