What is the meaning of the name Dina ?

The baby name Dina is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced DEE-nuh (/ˈdiːnə/).

Dina is Hebrew in Origin.

Dina blends several naming streams. Most prominently it reflects Hebrew Dinah (דִּינָה), derived from din, “judgment/justice,” yielding the sense “judged” or “vindicated.” In Arabic usage (دينا) the name is widespread and sometimes associated with dīn, “faith, religion,” while for many it is simply the Biblical name adapted. Across Europe, Dina also serves as a short form of -dina/-tina names such as Geraldina, Bernardina, Claudina, and Justina, which helped establish it as a standalone given name.

Known from Genesis as the daughter of Jacob and Leah, the name moved through Jewish and Christian traditions into Italian, Dutch, Scandinavian, Slavic, and Russian (Дина) naming. In English-speaking countries Dina/Deena peaked in the mid-20th century, with Dinah earlier familiar through folk songs and entertainers like Dinah Shore. Variant forms include Dinah, Deena, and Dena; cognate or related diminutives appear in many languages. Meanings cluster around justice, vindication, and - by Arabic association - faith.
