Alina
Alina Origin and Meaning
Alina has been drifting up the US popularity charts since the early 1980s, and now sits in in the Top 200. But Alina's real strength is in its international flexibility: The name ranks highly in a wide range of European, English speaking, and Latin American countries.
This is largely due to the fact that Alina has multiple different origins. It can be a global variation of classic Helen, a feminine form of the Scottish Alistair, an Arabic name with a soft meaning, a Germanic diminutive of Adelina, or a bright feeling name in Russia, Romania, and Poland.
Popular in countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Azerbaijan, and Bosnia to name a few, Alina manages to be one of those names that, in the US at least, you seem to hear everywhere and at the same time never hear at all.
The name could work as a long form for a daughter you want to call Lina, or Allie, and as an honor name for an Alexander, an Alice, or a Helena.
