What Does the Name Walterine Mean?
Walterine is a feminine form of Walter, an English name of Germanic origin meaning "ruler of the army." Walter goes back to the Germanic name Walthari, formed from the elements walt ("rule") and heri ("army"). The feminine ending -ine is added to the English masculine form; it identifies the name as feminine but does not add a separate meaning. The usual translation "ruler of the army" is a literal compound meaning rather than a later symbolic interpretation.
Walterine Name History & Origins
Walter came into English from Old French forms such as Gautier and Waltier, which descend from the Germanic name Walthari. In English the masculine name became established as Walter, and Walterine was formed from it by adding the feminine suffix -ine. That suffix is common in feminine names of French and Latin origin, but Walterine's root name is Germanic. Its history is therefore tied to the feminine use of Walter in English rather than to an independent Germanic name.
