Variation of Jenna or Gina or Arabic

Jena Origin and Meaning

The name Jena is a girl's name of Polish, Sanskrit origin meaning "paradise".

To most Americans, Jena would be a sleeker spelling of Jenna, pronounced JEHN-a. But it can also be pronounced JEEN-a or, as the Arabic Jena, more like JAY-na. Actress Jena Malone says it the first way, but however you pronounce it, it's a perfectly pleasant if somewhat confusing name.
