Calumina is in Origin.

Calumina is a rare modern feminine elaboration of the Scottish Gaelic Calum, itself the Gaelic form of Columba, from Latin columba "dove." Through this lineage, the name carries associations with peace, gentleness, and the Holy Spirit in Christian symbolism. The element -ina is a common Romance and English feminine suffix used to form diminutives or elaborations, giving Calumina a lyrical, international feel while retaining Celtic roots.

While scarcely documented before the late 20th century, Calumina resonates with the long history of Columba/Calum borne by Saint Columba (Colum Cille) of Iona, an influential 6th-century missionary whose cult spread across Ireland and Scotland. Closely related forms include Columba (Latin/Spanish/Italian), Colomba (Italian), and Columbina/Colombina (Italian), as well as the Scottish Calum and Irish Colm on the masculine side. Possible nicknames are Callie, Lumi, and Mina. Overall meaning: "dove," with extended connotations of serenity, reconciliation, and spiritual renewal.
