Durina is in Origin.

Durina is an uncommon feminine name with several plausible roots. In Slavic onomastics, Ďurina/Đurina developed as a patronymic from Ďuro/Đuro (a form of George), meaning “of George,” and it is occasionally used as a given name in Slovakia, Croatia, and Serbia. In Romance-speaking settings it also appears as a regional spelling of Dorina, a diminutive of Dorothea/Theodora from Greek dōron “gift,” yielding the sense “gift of God.” Some readers further connect the base to Latin durus “hard, enduring,” giving the interpretive meaning “steadfast.”

Recorded more often as a surname than a first name, Durina saw sporadic first‑name use in the 20th century and reads rare today. Variants and spellings include Ďurina, Đurina, and Djurina, with Dorina as a closely related form; related names are Djurdjina and Georgina. Nicknames include Rina, Dina, and Duri. Name-day traditions may follow St George or St Dorothy, depending on the lineage embraced.
