Wine means "friend", yes
As in Edwin, Leofwine, Erwin, Alvin, Baldwin, Darwin, Gladwin, Hartwin, Godwin, Oswin, or Marvin.
Please search for these common elements in pre-existing names before asking here. They don't change meanings in different names and don't change meanings when they're by themselves. Only their interpreted meaning may change, depending on what other elements they're combined with to form names.

Hi, i'm quite new to this. Someone thought that Wine meant friend but I do like to check. The other names you list ending in win, i would not just assume that they shared the same root as Wine and therefor would not have searched for this variant name. There again, i must admit i did not think of win to search for anyway. I guess things like that you pick up over the course of time?
How long have you been into name origins? thanks Bobby

First off: you could've searched via name ending. On the main page of BtN, search by names. Use an asterisk to indicate the name particle you want:
Prefix: Win*
Suffix: *win
Inside name: *win*
A suffix search would've turned up Leofwine immediately, as well as Ælfwine (Aelfwine).
As for your question: I've been interested in names since at least age seven or eight. I've been interested in meanings for at least that long too, but only became really interested in etymology when I was about 14. I was just under 16½ when I joined this board; I'm just under 18½ now.

..... simple put, i've never heard of the use of "*".
Well, Miranda, you live and learn!!
I'm finding most of the names i'm searching for except those single elements, as in Old Norse or Old English. Having said that i have found a few sites, but on the whole there seems to be precious little coverage...
