I’m assuming it’s french, but I would really like to know where it comes from and what it means. Internet searches are not turning anything up…
Help, anyone?
Never heard of it; to my knowledge it’s not French. [name]Fabienne[/name] is though
Feline refers to cats, like feline in English. Same word.
It belongs to someone who was born in Haiti, that’s why I assumed it was French. [name]Do[/name] you think it could be made up?
Lots of cool names in Haiti. 
[name]How[/name] is it pronounced?
It’s fay-lee-EHN. Maybe it is a unique spelling of some sort. The other close name I found is [name]Felicienne[/name].
Might be Creole. If it’s someone you’ll see again, you could always ask her about it.
hold on…
good old google. So FAlienne is a common noun refering to someone from Fau-de-Peyre in Lozere (area of [name]France[/name])
FElienne: I stand corrected. Though not a super popular name, it seems it was most popular in the 17th and 18th centuries in Bretagne [name]France[/name]
I was wondering if it related to [name]Felicienne[/name], [name]Faline[/name], or [name]Felina[/name].
