The Story Behind Séraphine

Séraphine is the French form of Seraphina, which is derived from the Late Latin name Seraphinus. This name is ultimately from the Hebrew word 'seraphim' (שְׂרָפִים), which refers to a class of celestial beings or angels described in the Old Testament, particularly in the Book of Isaiah. These angels are depicted as having six wings and are associated with fire and purification.

The name gained popularity in Christian cultures due to its religious connotations, often associated with purity, devotion, and a burning love for God. While Seraphina is more common in Italian and Spanish-speaking countries, Séraphine is its elegant French counterpart, carrying a similar spiritual weight and a touch of romanticism.
