Deenah is Hebrew in Origin.
Deenah is a modern phonetic respelling of Dinah/Dina, the Hebrew biblical name borne by Jacob and Leah's daughter (Genesis). From the root din, "to judge," it is usually interpreted as "judged," "vindicated," or "justice." The doubled e signals the long "ee" sound, while the terminal h echoes Yiddish forms such as Dineh, common in Ashkenazi usage.
In Jewish communities the name has been used for centuries; it entered wider English use via the King James Bible, appearing intermittently from Puritan times and reviving in the 19th-20th centuries. Variant spellings include Dinah, Dina, Deena, Dena, and Dineh; Dee is a familiar nickname. The name also overlaps with Arabic Dina/Deena, sometimes folk-etymologized from din "faith," though most treat it as the same biblical name.
