What does Nina mean?
/ˈniːnə/2 syllables

Nina is closely associated with Anna, and through it with the Hebrew name Ḥannâ, meaning "grace" or "graced with child." In Spanish, niña also simply means "little girl," and the name has been used independently across many cultures, including as a short form of Antonina or Giannina.

Nina is soft, warm, and instantly endearing — a name that sounds like an embrace. It suits an affectionate pet who loves staying close to their people.
