Gemina Origin and Meaning

The name Gemina is a girl's name.

Gemina is a feminine name with Latin roots, derived from the word 'geminus' meaning 'twin.' It's the feminine form of Geminus, and carries connotations of duality, partnership, and balance. While relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, the name has an elegant, classical feel that connects it to ancient Roman heritage. Gemina shares linguistic ties with the astrological sign Gemini and the word 'geminate' (to double or repeat). Some may choose this name for twin girls or for a child born under the Gemini star sign. Its melodic three-syllable rhythm and soft ending give it a gentle, feminine quality, while its rarity offers a distinctive choice for parents seeking something unique with classical roots.
