Usage notes
While multiple pronunciations are given above for this suffix, they are not freely interchangeable; instead, each word taking the suffix often only takes one or two of the suffix's possible pronunciations. For example, en feminine is almost always pronounced with /-ɪn/, while en marine is almost always pronounced with /-iːn/. However, more technical terms (such as en iodine, which can take any of the suffix's three possible pronunciations) may not have an established pronunciation, though in feminine names (en Maxine) and chemical use (en theobromine), the pronunciation /-iːn/ is the most frequent, while in other technical formations (en bovine) /-aɪn/ is common.

Etymology 1
nb da -ine female name-forming suffix. The Danish name-forming pattern was introduced from France through Germany and ultimately continues nb la -īna feminine form of -īnus, the feminine of la -īnus of or pertaining to. The pattern first occurred in upper-class naming before becoming highly productive in Danish and Norwegian female-name formation, particularly during the 19th century.
Compare sv -ina and en -ine female name-forming suffix.
Suffix
nb suffix
nb onomastics chiefly historical Used to form female given names, especially from male given names and, less commonly, from other female given names.
nb Hans -ine male given name female name-forming suffix → nb Hansine
nb Jens -ine male given name female name-forming suffix → nb Jensine
nb Guri -ine female given name female name-forming suffix → nb Gurine
nb Randi -ine female given name female name-forming suffix → nb Randine
Usage notes
New formations with nb -ine became especially widespread after about 1820 and were highly productive during the 19th century.
The suffix was frequently used to name daughters after male relatives, for example nb Hansine after nb Hans, nb Jensine after nb Jens, nb Nilsine after nb Nils and nb Oline after nb Ole.
Not every female given name ending in the letters ⟨-ine⟩ was formed in Norwegian using this suffix. Some names, such as nb Katrine, were adopted as complete names, while others represent older independent formations.
The same ending occurs in nb studine female student, probably borrowed as a complete word from Danish. This does not indicate that nb -ine became a generally productive suffix for ordinary Norwegian nouns.
