Lina

Herkunft und Bedeutung von Lina

Lina has a double root: in Arabic it means 'tender, delicate,' originally a supple young palm, while in Europe it arose as a short form of names like Carolina, Angelina or Paolina. In both cases an idea of grace and sweetness prevails. It is found across many cultures — in the Arab world, in Germany and Scandinavia — and present in Italy too. Short, soft and easy to pronounce in many languages, it blends delicacy, versatility and a discreet, timeless elegance.
