Idina is Hebrew in Origin.
Idina is a feminine name with layered origins. Often treated as a variant of Hebrew Adina (“delicate, gentle”), it also echoes medieval English Idonea/Idonia from Latin idoneus “fit, suitable.” In modern use it can be an elaboration of Ida with -ina, tying it to the Germanic id “work, industrious.” These strands yield meanings from gentle to capable.
Documented as Idonea in medieval England, the specific spelling Idina appeared in Britain by the early 20th century, notably borne by socialite Idina Sackville. Global recognition surged with American performer Idina Menzel, after which the name saw modest uptake in English-speaking countries while remaining uncommon. Today it appears at low frequency in the US and UK. Variants and relatives include Adina, Edina, Idonia/Idonea, Idony, and the diminutives Dina, Deena, Dena.
