"Nina" meaning in English

See Nina in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈniːnə/ Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-Nina.wav
Rhymes: -iːnə Etymology: Borrowed into English in the nineteenth century, apparently from several sources. Many borrowings are of Russian Ни́на (Nína), the name of a Georgian fourth-century saint, also known as Nino, of obscure origin and meaning, possibly connected with the Assyrian king Ninus. Others are of an Italian short form of diminutives like Annina from Anna and Giovannina from Giovanna. Phonologically or orthographically similar names are present in several languages, including Afrikaans, Hindi, Italian, Persian, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and some Native American languages. In many of those, it is a nickname for names ending in -ina or -nina. (hidden message in crossword): After Nina Hirschfeld, daughter of American caricaturist Al Hirschfeld; her name was often concealed in his drawings.
