As far as I know, Satine just means 'satin', ie the fabric.

Satine seems to be a feminization of the French word 'satin', meaning 'satin', the fabric. It is not used in France, but Emile Zola has made up the name Satin for a young prostitute in his book 'Nana', so it looks like Satin & Satine have 'bad reputation' connotations! :)I hope it helps!

SatineSatin is a silk and Satine is only the French form.
Like Charm and Charme.
I love the name; it's the name of a cat that stays at my husband's work. I call her Silky. I think it's cute.-Seda*

Dim sumThe word satin is ultimately derived from the province of Tsinkiang (Quanzhou), China (Silk trade originated in China).
