Medyna is Arabic in Origin.

Medyna is a modern feminine given name whose form suggests a blend of traditions. It is most often read as a stylistic variant of Medina/Madina, from Arabic al-Madīna, “the city,” a name revered for its association with the holy city in Islam. Alternatively, it echoes Lithuanian Medeina (Medeinė), the forest and hunting goddess, derived from medis/medė, “tree; forest,” giving Medyna an earthy, woodland meaning.

As a given name, Medina is attested in Iberia as a habitational surname turned forename and spread into English use by the 19th–20th centuries; Medyna rises later as a contemporary respelling, appearing in recent records in English-speaking countries and parts of Eastern Europe. Common variants include Medina, Madina, Medine, and Medinah; Baltic forms include Medeina/Medeinė. Nicknames and short forms such as Dina, Dyna, Medy, and Madi occur. Medyna therefore carries either urban-sacred resonances or sylvan-mythic imagery, depending on the lineage you favor.
