What is the meaning of the name Jina ?

The baby name Jina is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced JEE-nuh (phonetic: JEE-nə; IPA: /ˈdʒiːnə/).

Jina is English, Korean, Sanskrit in Origin.

Jina blends multiple roots across cultures. In Korean it is commonly the romanization of Ji-na (진아/지나), a feminine name built from hanja such as Ji (智 “wisdom,” 知 “knowledge,” 眞 “truth,” 珍 “precious”) and Na/Ah (娜 “graceful,” 雅 “elegant,” 娥 “beautiful”). The meaning depends on the chosen characters, yielding readings like “wise and graceful” or “true beauty.” It rose in South Korea from the late 20th century with modern romanization. Common variants include Ji-na, Jin-a, and Jin-ah; less formal spellings like Jeena also occur abroad.

In the Indic sphere, Jina comes from Sanskrit and Prakrit for “victor, spiritual conqueror,” a revered title for the Jain Tirthankaras and an epithet in Buddhist texts. That sacred term sometimes becomes a given name, generally unisex. Related forms include Jaina (feminine) and Jinendra/Jinesh (masculine). In Western usage, Jina may overlap with Gina, though the etymologies differ.
