'Apolline' originates from French, ultimately from Latin 'Apollina' (feminine of 'Apollinus'), which in turn derives from the Greek name 'Apóllōn' referring to the god Apollo.

'Apolline' changed from the Latin feminine name 'Apollina' and the Old French/Medieval French forms into the modern French given name 'Apolline', which is used in English as a personal name.

Initially, it meant 'of or pertaining to Apollo' (i.e., connected with the god Apollo); over time it evolved into a personal/feminine given name meaning 'devoted to Apollo' or simply an inherited name.
