Meina is a cross-cultural girls’ name with deep Germanic and modern Sinitic roots. In Frisian and Dutch contexts it stems from the Old High German element megin/mein, “strength, might,” found in medieval compounds like Meinhild and Meinhard; Meina developed as a feminine short form and also as a variant of Mina, the familiar diminutive of Wilhelmina. It appears in northern Dutch and German records and enjoyed quiet, local use into the 19th and early 20th centuries before becoming rarer.

In Chinese, Meina commonly romanizes the given name 美娜 (Měinà), combining mei “beautiful” with na “graceful, elegant.” This dual heritage supports flexible international use. Variants and related forms include Mina, Mena, Meena, and Miena, with Wilhelmina as a formal source in Dutch–German settings. The core meanings cluster around “strength” on the Germanic side and “beautiful, graceful” in Chinese.
