Lourdina is Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Lourdina is a feminine given name formed from Lourdes, the Marian place-name associated with the 1858 apparitions in southwestern France. The -ina ending functions as an affectionate or diminutive suffix in many Romance languages and Creoles, so Lourdina conveys “little Lourdes” or “belonging to Lourdes.” As with Lourdes itself, the name carries the devotional sense of “Our Lady of Lourdes,” making its broader meaning “devoted to Mary” or “from the sanctuary of Lourdes.”

Usage clusters in Catholic communities, especially Lusophone and Francophone regions such as Brazil, Cape Verde, and Haiti, where creative Marian variants are common. It arose alongside the surge of Lourdes-based names after the late 19th century. Related forms include Lourdes (Spanish/French), Lurdes (Portuguese/Catalan), and diminutives like Lourdinha/Lurdinha (Portuguese) and Lourdesita (Spanish), as well as parallel variants Lourdine and Lourdette in French-influenced settings. Nicknames may include Dina, Lori, or Lour.
