Ernestine
Old-fashioned girl's name
Ernestine is a feminine given name, the female form of Ernest.
It peaked in popularity in the early twentieth century and now sounds distinctly old-fashioned: Great-Aunt Ernestine left me her china.
The name suggests earnestness or seriousness, from the same Germanic root meaning "serious" or "resolute."
