What is the meaning of the name Madina ?

The baby name Madina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced mah-DEE-nah (IPA: /məˈdiːnə/ or /maˈdiːna/).

Madina is Arabic in Origin.

Madina is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, from al-Madīna, “the city,” a term that by association refers to al‑Madīnah al‑Munawwarah, the Prophet Muhammad’s “Radiant City” in present‑day Saudi Arabia. As a name, it conveys reverence for that sacred place and can evoke ideas of community and spiritual refuge. The base word madīna simply means “city” in Arabic.

Used throughout the Muslim world since early Islamic times, Madina spread with Islam into North Africa, the Levant, South Asia, and Turkic and Caucasian regions; it remains especially common in Kazakhstan, Chechnya, Dagestan, and among Tatars and Uzbeks. Variant spellings include Madinah (closer transliteration), Medina, and Medinah; diminutives and nicknames include Dina and Madi, with Russian affectionate form Madinka. The surname and place‑name Medina are widespread in Spanish contexts via Arabic influence in al‑Andalus, and the given‑name form Medina appears in Bosnian and broader English‑language usage.
