Nadine

I have researched my given name Nadine for many, many years and have come to learn and understand the following. It is an ancient Arabic origin name adopted by the Russian, French, German, English countries as well as some of the Latin speaking countries. Nadine is a popular Muslim girl or boy name. Many names have derived from the name Nadine such as Nadia, Natalie, Nadeem, Nader, Nadeeda, Nadish, Nadi and so on. The correct pronunciation is Nuh-deen and NOT Naydeen as many Americans would have it and to which I cringe when I hear them pronouncing it.

I hope this is helpful to all you "Nadine's" out there and for the parents who wish to use that name for their new born child.

Nadine means "hope".

That's not the elaborated form of Nadya, but the short form of Bernardine.

Nadine has absolutely nothing to do with the name Bernardine. Nadine is the French version of "Nadia," which means hope.
