Garyna is in Origin.

Garyna is a rare modern feminine given name formed by elaborating Gary with the Slavic-style suffix -yna/-ina. Gary ultimately goes back to the Germanic element ger (spear), familiar from names like Gerald and Gerard, so Garyna is often read as a feminine “spear” name. The shape also echoes Slavic feminines such as Karina/Karyna, and in Eastern European contexts Garyna can appear as a Latin-letter rendering alongside Haryna (Belarusian) or Garina, blurring lines between invented and regional variants.

Documented use is sparse before the late 20th century, with scattered appearances in Anglophone and Slavic-speaking communities, sometimes chosen to honor a relative named Gary while giving a fresh, lyrical ending. Common short forms include Gari, Rina, and Ryna. Variant spellings: Garina, Garyna, Haryna. Meanings offered by namers range from “spear” or “spear-maiden” (via ger) to the poetic “ardent/fiery,” by association with the Slavic root gar-/gor- ‘to burn.’
