Hina is Arabic, Japanese, Polynesian, Urdu in Origin.

Hina has several unrelated etymologies. In Urdu and other South Asian usage, its secure early form is Arabic ḥinnāʾ, the classical word for henna, the reddish dye prepared from Lawsonia inermis. Japanese Hina is a two-mora given name written with kanji chosen for sound and sense: 雛 reads hina and denotes a chick, fledgling, or festival doll, while 陽菜 combines hi sun or sunlight with na greens.

The Arabic-Urdu name is familiar in Pakistan and northern India, where henna is tied to wedding and Eid adornment; forms include Hena and Heena. In Japan, Hina became especially visible among girls from the 2000s and is associated with Hinamatsuri, the March doll festival. Polynesian traditions also preserve Hina as the name of female deities, distinct from the Arabic and Japanese names.
