Halina is Polish, Slavic, Ukrainian in Origin.
Halina is a Slavic feminine given name most common in Polish and Belarusian usage, etymologically tied to the Greek word galēnē (γαλήνη) “calm, tranquility; fair weather at sea.” The name came into the Slavic world through the Orthodox veneration of Galina/Galene, and in languages where a historical g > h shift occurs (Ukrainian, Belarusian - and by analogy in Polish) it appears as Halina/Halyna. Its core meaning evokes serenity and peacefulness.
Polish records show wider adoption from the late 19th century, with a strong mid‑20th‑century peak; bearers include the Olympian Halina Konopacka and poet Halina Poświatowska. Variants include Galina (Russian, Bulgarian), Halyna (Ukrainian), Halina (Polish, Belarusian), and related short forms Galia/Galya and Halia/Halya. Polish diminutives include Halinka and Hala. Though sometimes associated with Helena because of phonetic similarity and overlapping nicknames, Halina’s historical lineage is distinct, pointing back to the Greek image of a calm sea.
