Mahina is Hawaiian in Origin.
Mahina is a feminine given name from Hawaiian, where mahina means “moon,” and by extension “month” or “moonlight.” The word descends from Proto-Polynesian masina (reconstructed), with cognates such as Samoan Māsina and Tongan Māhina, and it echoes the widespread Polynesian moon goddess Hina. As a name, it carries connotations of serenity, cycles, and luminous guidance.
Documented in Hawaiian families for generations and found in chants and poetry, Mahina saw renewed visibility during the late-20th-century Hawaiian cultural renaissance and has since traveled internationally. Variants and spellings include Māhina (with macron), Maheena (Anglicized/South Asian transliteration that also means “month” in Hindi-Urdu), and the short form Hina; related forms abroad include Masina. Predominantly used for girls, Mahina appeals to parents seeking a culturally rooted yet globally intuitive nature name with celestial meaning.
