Paulyne is a girl’s name of French and Latin origin. It’s a variant of Pauline, a French feminine form of Paul, which derives from the Latin Paulus, meaning “small” or “humble.” This meaning is sure to remind baby to always stay modest and grounded! In Christianity, Saint Paul was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, making this name popular among Christians.
