Verdine

Verdine is a proper noun used primarily as a given name and, less commonly, as a surname. In English-language contexts, it is most notably associated with the American musician Verdine White. The name is relatively rare and does not have a widely documented, canonical etymology in standard name references; it may be a distinctive or coined form rather than a traditional given name.

Verdine White (born 1951) is a prominent figure in popular music, best known as the bassist for Earth, Wind & Fire. He has been a core member of the band since its early years, contributing to its characteristic blend of funk, soul, R&B, and jazz-influenced pop. Earth, Wind & Fire achieved substantial commercial and critical success from the 1970s onward, with numerous hit albums and singles. The band has sold more than 90 million records worldwide, and White’s bass playing and stage presence are widely recognized as integral to the group’s sound.

Beyond this prominent figure, Verdine is not widely documented as a major name associated with other public figures, places, or organizations in widely available reference works. The usage of Verdine remains limited, and it is predominantly encountered in biographical contexts related to the musician.
