Mesina is Italian in Origin.

Mesina is a toponymic given name and surname rooted in the Sicilian/Italian place name Messina, the port city on the Strait of Messina. The city’s current form traces to Greek Messene/Messenia, reflecting settlers from the Peloponnese; earlier it was known as Zankle. As a personal name, Mesina therefore carries the sense "from Messina" or "of Messenia," and is commonly pronounced meh-SEE-nah. The single-s spelling appears in Hispanic and Filipino records alongside the more widespread Italian Messina.

Used first as a medieval locative byname that became a hereditary surname, Mesina has seen modest modern use as a given name, often chosen to signal Sicilian roots or maritime imagery. Variants and related forms include Messina (Italian), Messena (Latinized), and Messenia (classical). Nicknames such as Mesi, Sina, and Mina occur in casual use. The name is rare on contemporary charts, unisex in practice but most often given to girls.
