Colyna is Spanish in Origin.

Colyna is a rare modern feminine given name, likely a creative respelling of Coline/Colina, feminine forms of Colin, the medieval French diminutive of Nicholas. Through this line it traces to Greek Nikolaos (nike “victory” + laos “people”), hence “victory of the people.” Coline has long use in French; Colina appears in Scotland as a feminine of Colin and may overlap with forms like Nicolina.

Because Colin also renders Scottish Gaelic Cailean, Colyna can also be read via that root, sometimes glossed “whelp, young pup” or “child.” The y-spelling reflects late-20th-century trends. Variants and related forms: Coline, Colina, Colene, Coleen, Kolina, Nicolina/Nikolina; diminutives Lina, Coley, Coco. Usage remains uncommon, giving the name a distinctive feel.
