Norine
A spelling of Noreen, an Irish diminutive of Nora. Nora itself is shortened from Honora, from the Latin "honor", or sometimes from Eleanor.
Norine in 2025
Norine was not given to any babies in 2025. The Social Security Administration only publishes a name once at least five babies receive it in a year, so Norine has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Norine
Norine reached its highest point in 1920, when 122 babies were given the name, ranking 1,212th that year. Its best-ever ranking was 991st, in 1906.
Across the 143 years of records since 1883, 5,242 babies have been named Norine. Half of them were born before 1934, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Silent Generation.

That is less than 5% of its 1920 peak — Norine is now a rare name in the United States.
