Cena is Latin in Origin.

Cena is a compact cross‑cultural name with several plausible roots. In Italian and classical Latin, cena means “supper,” the principal Roman meal; as an Italian surname it migrated to the Americas and sometimes became a given name. In English usage it also serves as a streamlined spelling of Xena/Zena, ultimately from Greek xenos “guest, stranger,” and, by sound, echoes Arabic Zina/Zeina, “beauty, adornment.” Sparse 19th‑century U.S. records show intermittent use, with a small uptick in recent decades.

Variants and relatives include Xena, Zena, Sena, and Sina; longer forms such as Zenobia or Xenia may shorten to Cena. Possible nicknames are Cece and Ena. Depending on route of origin, the name can signify “hospitality,” “beauty,” or carry the Italian‑Latin lexical charm of the Roman supper.
