What is the meaning of the name Bina ?

The baby name Bina is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BEE-nuh.

Bina is Hebrew, Latin in Origin.

As an independent Jewish name, Bina is best explained from Hebrew בִּינָה, transliterated bīnāh, an abstract noun in Biblical Hebrew for understanding or discernment. It belongs to the Semitic root בין, b-y-n, to distinguish or perceive, with the feminine noun ending -āh. A separate Jewish usage links Bina with Yiddish bin or bine, bee, sometimes as a vernacular counterpart to Hebrew Devorah, Deborah, whose literal sense is bee. In European languages, the same spelling can also be a clipped form of Sabina, Albina, Jacobina, or Columbina, where the final -bina is morphological accident rather than shared etymology.

The Hebrew sense gives Bina a clear place in Jewish naming, while the Deborah association reflects Ashkenazic translation practices. Short-form Bina appears in Italian, Slavic, and English contexts from longer -bina names. Modern American use is uncommon, though it appears among Jewish families and as Beena/Bina in South Asian naming.
