Shakeena is a feminine name that appears to be a variant of Shakina or Shekinah, with possible roots in the Hebrew word 'shekhinah,' which refers to the dwelling or presence of God. The name emerged in American naming patterns primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, gaining modest popularity through the 1990s. The spelling variation with 'een' rather than 'in' may represent a phonetic adaptation to emphasize the long 'e' sound and create a distinctive written form. The name's rhythmic quality, with emphasis on the middle syllable, gives it a melodic flow that likely contributed to its appeal. While never among the most common names, Shakeena has maintained a presence in naming records, representing the trend toward names with meaningful spiritual connections and distinctive sounds.
