I saw both names listed as being French on the Opinions board. They look feminine to me. Can anyone tell me their origin and meaning and what the masculine version would be? TIA.

You probably saw these in my post.
I haven't been able to find anything out about their origin or meaning, despite the fact that the names are borne by many individuals in French-Canada.

Azilde is found alternatively as Azilda, Asilda
I've also seen Exilda

Exine is found alternatively as Exina

Some related suggestions from my book of saints:
Asella
Auxilius
Azadanes
Exanthus

I too would love to know more about their origin and meaning.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help =/

Thanks for trying. So I take it they're saints' names? That's interesting.

Well, I'm finding out usually some of the seemingly odder names bestowed on children in French-Canada can be traced to names of obscure medieval saints.
