About Seraphine
Seraphine, an angelic Hebrew name, stems from the "burning ones, flaming, glowing," and "shining snake" meaning. Its origin can be traced to the Hebrew word "śərāfîm," referring to celestial beings in Abrahamic religions. Interestingly, "seraph" also denotes serpents in some Biblical passages, which has influenced some interpretations of the name.
The Gallic version, Seraphine, shares the same meaning as its angelic counterpart, Seraphina. While Seraphina has gained popularity, Seraphine has remained underappreciated. However, experts predict that its French vowel-sound ending may soon become more fashionable than the common "a" endings in girls' names.
