Meaning and background

The story behind Alpine

Alpine comes from the Alps and describes the mountains themselves, high mountain environments, and some flowers growing there. The English adjective came through French and Latin, ultimately from Latin Alpinus. It also names a skiing discipline, but that is a later use of the same word. As a dog name, Alpine has a crisp two-syllable sound and a genuine mountain connection rather than an invented personal-name meaning.

Meaning
Relating to the Alps or high mountains; also used of mountain habitats and alpine skiing. Source
