About the name
Ondine is French — from Latin unda, "wave" — the water-spirit of European legend who gains a soul by marrying a mortal; her story gave medicine "Ondine's curse" and ballet one of its strangest heroines.
Rare everywhere, Ondine offers the water category's most literary sprite.
Two rippling syllables (on-DEEN). It pairs well with grounded middles (Ondine Ruth, Ondine Jane). On our vibe map it is Mythological freshwater with Whimsical foam and Soft & Dreamy undertow — the wave, personified.
