What is the meaning of the name Ginah ?

The baby name Ginah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JEE-nah (IPA: /ˈdʒiːnə/).

Ginah is English, Italian, Latin in Origin.

Ginah is a modern variant spelling of Gina, pronounced JEE-nah. Gina began as an Italian short form of names ending in -gina, such as Regina, Georgina (Giorgina), Eugenia, Virginia, and Luigina, so its meaning depends on the source name: queen (Regina), farmer or earthworker (Georgina), well-born (Eugenia), or maiden (Virginia). The -h ending echoes spellings like Dinah and may also evoke the Hebrew noun gina or ginah, meaning garden, a pleasant folk association sometimes noted in Jewish contexts.

As an independent given name, Gina rose internationally in the mid-20th century, boosted by Italian star Gina Lollobrigida and the vogue for clipped, light names. Ginah is a rarer contemporary respelling found in English-speaking countries. Close variants include Gina, Gena, Geena, Jeana, Jina, and Ginna; related longer forms are Regina, Georgina, Virginia, and Eugenia. Nicknames can include Gigi or Gia.
