Gina is a pan-European name, commonly a short form of names ending in -gina, especially Regina, Georgina, Eugenia, Virginia, and the Italian Luigina. Depending on its source, it carries multiple etymologies: "queen" from Latin regina; "farmer, earthworker" from Greek georgos via Georgina; "well-born, noble" from Greek eugenes via Eugenia; "maiden, pure" from Latin virgo via Virginia; or "famous in battle" through the Germanic elements hlud + wig in Luigina.

Long used in Italy as a diminutive, Gina established itself as an independent given name in English-, Spanish-, and Portuguese-speaking communities in the mid-20th century, popularized by Italian actress Gina Lollobrigida. Usage peaked in the 1960s to 1980s and has since settled into a classic-short style. Variants include Gena and Geena; related forms are Regina, Georgina, Eugenia, Virginia, and Luigina.
