Sina

Short, sweet, and perhaps misleadingly simple, Sina is in fact a multicultural choice with a wide range of origins. In Samoan mythology, Sina is used for a number of figures, and notably appears in the creation story of the coconut tree, Sina and the Eel. In this case, the name means "white or gray haired" and appears in the Disney movie Moana.

As an English name, Sina might be an anglicization of the Irish Síne, itself a variation of Jeanne or Jane. It is usually spelled Sheena in English, however, Sina might reflect a mispronunciation based on the look of the name.

As a German name, Sina is a short form of Thomasina, Rosina or similar, in which case, it is a diminutive name. In Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, it might be a variation of Signe, meaning "new victory".

Sina is also given to boys, where it ranks #6399 in the US.

Pronounced SEE-nuh.
