The girl name [name_f]Mazarine[/name_f] means “deep, purplish blue” in Old [name_m]French[/name_m]. It’s the name of a specific blue butterfly. It is also the last name of a prominent [name_m]French[/name_m] Catholic Cardinal from the Renaissance.
[name_f]Mazarine[/name_f] is pronounced “Mazz-uh-reen”.
I think [name_f]Mazarine[/name_f] is a striking choice depending on your community. I tend to prefer it as a middle name. It seems more usable in that position.
I think it’s pretty and I like the meaning. Mazzie is cute! Although I did see magazine at first glance and confused it for a second with Nazarene (responding to your other post here too). Not a huge deal though, I like its exotic sound and cool nickname.
I love it. I heard it on a name board years ago and it was instant love. I think it’s highly unusual, but it’s easy to say and the -ine ending makes it more familiar to people.
I like the nickname, but [name_f]Mazarine[/name_f] reminds me of Nazarene (as in [name_m]Jesus[/name_m] of [name_m]Nazareth[/name_m]), but maybe most people won’t make that association.
