About Felina
Felina is a feminine name with Latin and Spanish origins, derived from 'felinus' meaning 'cat-like.' This evocative name suggests grace, independence, and mystery—qualities often associated with felines. While never extremely common in English-speaking countries, Felina gained some recognition through the Marty Robbins country song 'El Paso,' which features a character with this name. The name carries an exotic, romantic quality with its flowing sound and distinctive ending. Felina appeals to parents drawn to nature-inspired names with a touch of uniqueness and Latin flair. Its relative rarity makes it stand out while still being intuitive to pronounce and spell for most English speakers.
Pronounced fuh-LEE-nuh.
As of October 2026, Felina ranked #13765 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3555 in 1971.
