Nerine is a girl’s name of Greek origin. It’s inspired by the Nereids or the sea-nymphs of Greek mythology who symbolized everything beautiful and kind about the sea, even protecting sailors and their ships. A type of flower was also named Nerine after it was washed ashore from a shipwreck. So if you live by the sea, naming baby Nerine is a way to keep the sea-nymphs in good graces and have them look out for your child. It is also a beautiful way to encourage your little one to embody all the good their namesake represents.
