Karrine is a one-of-a-kind twist on the timeless name Karine. It is a French spelling of the Swedish Karin, which is a short form of Katherine, which stems from ancient Greek. Katherine comes from the Greek word katharós, which means “pure,” “clean of shame or guilt,” and “purified.” The name is also associated with Hecate, the Greek goddess of witchcraft and magic. Hecate was worshipped throughout the ancient world, portrayed often as a sinister goddess of the underworld but alternatively as kind and benevolent. Karrine could be the perfect choice for your little legend if you’re a mythology buff or simply like the sound of this distinctive name.
