Veselina Origin and Meaning

The name Veselina is a girl's name meaning "cheerful".

A vibrant name with an uplifting meaning, Veselina is a feminine form of Veselin, predominantly used in Bulgaria. It comes from the South Slavic element, vesel, meaning "cheerful".

Also used as the name of a river and a radio station in Bulgaria, Veselina is only occasionally used outside of its native country, perhaps because of its similarity to the popular petroleum-jelly brand, Vaseline. An alternative form is Vesela.
