What is the meaning of the name Arina ?

The baby name Arina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-REE-nah (English); Russian: [ɐˈrʲinə]; IPA: /əˈriːnə/.

Arina is Russian, Slavic in Origin.

Arina is a Slavic feminine name, most prevalent in Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian, functioning as the vernacular form of Irina. Through Irina, it traces back to Greek Eirene, the personification of “peace,” which entered Eastern Christianity and spread via the cult of several saints named Irene in Orthodox calendars. In Russia the form Arina was long favored in rural speech and appears in folklore and 18th–19th‑century records; a well‑known bearer is Arina Rodionovna, Alexander Pushkin’s beloved nurse. Contemporary usage has risen again across the post‑Soviet world.

Meaning “peace,” Arina shares a family with Irina, Iryna (Ukrainian), Irena (Central European), and Irene/Eirene (Greek/Western). Diminutives and pet forms include Arisha, Arinka, Rina, and Ira. The name also occurs in Baltic usage (Latvian Arīna) and is occasionally adopted internationally for its clear, melodic shape, sometimes independent of its Greek etymology.
