Jakinda is in Origin.

Jakinda is a modern, inventive spelling of Jacinda/Jacinta, ultimately tracing to the Greek Hyakinthos via Latin Hyacinthus. The core meaning is “hyacinth,” the fragrant spring flower; in classical sources hyakinthos also named a deep-colored gemstone (jacinth), so the name can evoke both floral and jewel imagery. The Greek myth of Hyacinth, loved by Apollo, underlies the name’s literary resonance.

As a given name, the lineage flourished in Iberian and Italian forms - Jacinta (Spanish/Portuguese) and Giacinta (Italian) - borne by saints such as Giacinta Marescotti and by Jacinta Marto of Fátima, which sustained popularity in Catholic countries. English adopted Jacinda and Jacintha; modern visibility was boosted by New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern. Jakinda follows contemporary orthographic trends that favor k for c, while keeping the same pronunciation. Related variants include Jacinda, Jacinta, Jacintha, Giacinta, Hyacintha/Hyacinth; nicknames include Jaci, Cinda, and Cindy.
