What is the meaning of the name Karmina ?

Karmina is Italian, Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Karmina is a modern K-initial variant of Carmina/Carmen, ultimately linked to Hebrew Karmel, "garden" or "vineyard," via the Marian title Nuestra Señora del Carmen (Our Lady of Mount Carmel). The name became established across Spain, Italy, and Latin America through Carmelite devotion and appears in early modern parish records. The K spelling gained currency in South Slavic and Baltic languages, and in the Philippines, where orthographies favor K over soft C, giving the name a cosmopolitan feel while keeping its familiar sound.

Its meaning is twofold: the Mount Carmel sense of "garden/orchard" and the Latin carmen, carmina, "song, poem," which has encouraged the affectionate reading "little song," helped along by the -ina ending. Related forms include Carmina, Carmen, Carmela, Carmelina, and Karmen/Karmena; masculine counterparts are Carmelo and Carmine. Common nicknames are Mina, Kari, Kara, and Karmi. Many bearers celebrate a name day on July 16.
