About Malina
Malina is a synthetic-feeling name that may be a feminization of the Scottish Malcolm or a spelling twist on the Greek Melina and that also has a fruit meaning in several Eastern European languages. For all that it's a little bit of lots of things, Malina doesn't feel very much like itself.
Pronounced mah-LEE-nah.
As of October 2026, Malina ranked #2167 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1400 in 2009.
