Undine

Undine "Sammy" Sams (1919 – 1999) was an American nurse. She is best known for implementing the integration of the Florida Nurses Association, and received several awards and honors, including induction into the American Nurses Association Hall of Fame in 2000.

Undine Smith Moore (1904 – 1989), the "Dean of Black Women Composers", was an American composer and professor of music in the twentieth century. Moore was originally trained as a classical pianist, but developed a compositional output of mostly vocal music—her preferred genre. Much of her work was inspired by black spirituals and folk music. Undine Smith Moore was a renowned teacher, and once stated that she experienced "teaching itself as an art". Towards the end of her life, she received many awards for her accomplishments as a music educator.

In the video game Undertale, the character Undyne's name is likely a variant of Undine.

Undine is certainly an unusual name and I know because my name also Undine. As I know no one else with the name I asked Google and came up with the name Undine Giuseppi who was born in Barbados in July 1917 and died in November 2006 aged 89. She was an educator and writer who loved English and wrote a book called Backfire which was a book of poetry for Caribbean schools. I pronounce my name Undeen where my mum would have preferred Oondeen and I had my fair share of name calling as a child.

In the anime ARIA, "Undine" is the name given to the gondoliers of Neo-Venezia.

A variation of this name, Ondine, was used by actor Robert Olivio, a Warhol superstar who appeared in "Chelsae Girls," "Loves of Ondine" and other films.

This name is used in so many animes and video games that it's just funny now! Always a water spirit of some sort in these games. The most recent game I can think of is Tales of Symphonia.
