Jalina is in Origin.

Jalina is a modern feminine given name with layered roots. In Slavic settings it is often read as a variant of Jelina/Jelena, ultimately linked to Greek Helena, meaning “torch” or “light.” Some bearers reflect a reshaping of Galina (from Greek Galene, “calm, serenity”), with the initial sound adapted in Western spellings. In contemporary English- and German-speaking use, Jalina can also be a creative elaboration on Lina, a pan-European diminutive element; through Lina it sometimes carries the Arabic sense of “tender, palm sprout.” These converging paths give Jalina associations with brightness and serenity.

The name is rare before the late 20th century and sees sporadic use in the United States, Canada, Germany, and the Balkans, appreciated for its lilting rhythm and cross-lingual familiarity. Variants and related forms include Jelina, Jolina, Jalena, Jaleena, Yalina, Yelina, and Galina; short forms include Jali and Lina.
