Mesinah is in Origin.

Mesinah is a rare modern feminine given name best understood as a creative variant of Messina/Mesina, the Italian toponymic surname meaning "person from Messina." Messina is the Sicilian port known in antiquity as Messana, renamed by Greek settlers from Messene; the name thus reflects Greek place-name traditions rather than a specific lexical meaning. The final -h in Mesinah is a contemporary stylistic flourish common in English-language respellings.

Messina as a surname is well attested from medieval Italy and the Mediterranean diaspora, while given-name use surfaces only sporadically from the late 20th century, especially in English-speaking countries. Variants and related forms include Messina, Mesina, and Messinah; possible short forms are Mesi, Sina, and Mina.
