What is the meaning of the name Felina ?

The baby name Felina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced fə-LEE-nə (fuh-LEE-nuh) — IPA: /fəˈliːnə/.

Felina is Latin in Origin.

Felina is a feminine name of Romance origin, taken from the Latin adjective felinus, “of a cat” or “feline,” which entered Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese as felina. As a given name it carries associations of sleek grace, independence, and quiet strength.

Though uncommon, Felina appears in Italian- and Spanish-speaking communities and has occasional use in the English-speaking world, boosted by Marty Robbins’s ballad El Paso (1959), whose heroine is named Felina, and by later pop-culture nods such as the Breaking Bad finale title. Variants and related forms include Feline (especially in Dutch usage), Felena (modern spelling), and the masculine Felino; it is sometimes chosen as a creative cousin to Felicia/Felix, inviting a secondary “fortunate” reading despite a different root. Nicknames and diminutives: Feli, Lina, Ina. Overall, Felina blends a nature-inspired image with a sleek, international sound.
