What is the meaning of the name Arlina ?

The baby name Arlina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ar-LEE-nuh,AR-lih-nuh,/ɑrˈliːnə/ (common).

Arlina is English in Origin.

Arlina is a modern feminine given name formed in English, most likely as an elaboration of Arlene/Arline. Those names rose in the early 20th century, influenced by Eileen (Irish Eibhlín from Norman French Aveline, often glossed "little hazel" or linked to Helen, "light") and by the surname/place-name Arlen. The -lina ending echoes Romance diminutives seen in Carolina and Angelina and aligns the name with the pan-European nickname Lina; in Arabic, Lina also carries the sense "tender, gentle; palm tree," which colors contemporary readings.

Documented only sporadically before 1900, Arlina appears in English-language records from the 1920s onward and today surfaces across North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia in small numbers. Variants and relatives include Arlena, Arline, Arlene, Arlyna, and Arleena; short forms are Arli/Arlie and Lina. Because of its blended roots, meanings commonly associated with Arlina include "little hazel," "light/bright," and "tender."
