Maliny is Slavic in Origin.

Maliny is a feminine given name with layered roots. In South and Southeast Asia - especially Cambodia - it commonly represents a French-influenced romanization of the Sanskrit/Pali Mālinī, “garlanded, wreathed,” hence “fragrant; jasmine,” and the name of a river in classical texts. The final -y reflects an /i/ vowel in Khmer and diaspora spellings, and the name gained steady use in the mid‑20th century through education and literature.

In Slavic settings, Maliny is read as a creative variant of Malina, the pan‑Slavic word‑name for “raspberry,” evoking sweetness and vivid color; compare Romanian Mălina, from mălin “bird‑cherry.” Documented variants include Malini, Malina, Malyna, and Mălina; short forms include Mali, Lina, and Nini. While rare internationally, the name surfaces in Cambodian communities and sporadically in Central/Eastern Europe, appreciated for its nature imagery and gentle, lilting sound.
