Luigina Origin and Meaning

The name Luigina is a boy's name.

Luigina is traditionally a feminine Italian name, though listed here as masculine. It originated as a diminutive form of Luigi (Italian for Louis), with the feminine suffix '-ina' added to create a girl's name meaning 'renowned warrior maiden.' This gender classification may represent an unusual usage or database error, as Luigina has historically been used exclusively for girls in Italy and Italian communities. The name carries a melodic, romantic quality characteristic of Italian nomenclature. While common in Italy during the early to mid-20th century, Luigina remains quite rare in English-speaking countries. For those with Italian heritage, it offers a connection to cultural roots with its distinctively Italian sound and structure, though its feminine nature should be noted despite the masculine classification provided.
