The name Altina is a girl's name of Portuguese origin meaning "gold; raise".

Popular in Brazil back in the 20th century and familiar in Albania, Altina likely emerged as a variation of Altin, itself borrowed from the Turkish word for "gold". Alternatively, it may be a feminine form of the Portuguese name Altino, meaning "raise, elevate", or the Kazakh and Kyrgyz name Altynai meaning "golden moon".
