About Bina
Sources say that Bina, which is close to the word for bee in Yiddish, was once used as a translation for the Hebrew Deborah, which means bee. On its own, it also means "understanding" in Hebrew. Simple and sweet in itself, it could also be short for (or a nod to) many names including Sabina, Robina, Columbina, and Jacobina.
Pronounced BEE-nuh.
As of October 2026, Bina ranked #5434 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #660 in 1885.
