Encourage baby to always keep their head held high with this Hebrew and Swiss name. Eline means "noble kind" and is related to the Old German name Adelaide, as well as the Hebrew name Eliana. Eline's second meaning, "my God has answered," comes from the elements _el_, meaning "God," and _ana_, which means "answered." Although it's on the shorter side, Eline still has a soft, lyrical feel that will serve baby well through life. Not to mention, this name is particularly popular in Switzerland, possibly due to the country’s close connection to Germany. Swiss German is the most widely spoken language in Switzerland, and this name offers a way for baby to feel inspired by their heritage in a subtle but powerful way.
