Wilna

Wilna is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may derive from the Lithuanian city Vilnius (called Wilno in Polish), or it could be a feminine form of Wilson or Wilhelm. In some cases, it might be a variant of Wilma, which comes from the Germanic name Wilhelmina meaning 'resolute protection.' The name has a gentle strength and uncommon elegance. Wilna gained modest popularity in the early 20th century but remains relatively rare today. Its short, distinctive sound combines the natural feel of names starting with 'Wil-' with a soft ending.
