Miguelina is a Spanish and Portuguese feminine name formed with the affectionate suffix -ina from Miguel or Miguela, the Iberian form of Michael. Michael derives from Hebrew Mikha’el, a theophoric phrase meaning “Who is like God?” - a rhetorical declaration of God’s incomparability. Through Christian devotion to the archangel Michael, the name family spread across Europe; Miguelina emerged in Iberia and in former Spanish and Portuguese realms.

Variants and cognates include Miguela, Miguelita (diminutive), Michelina and Michela (Italian), Michaela (English/German), and Micheline (French). Common nicknames are Lina, Mimi, and Migui. The name blends traditional religious roots with a warm, lyrical ending.
