Myrina is Greek in Origin.

Myrina is a feminine given name of Greek origin, borne in classical sources by an Amazon queen celebrated by Diodorus Siculus for campaigns across Libya and Asia Minor; several ancient coastal towns - on Lemnos and in Aeolis - were said to bear her name. The etymology is uncertain and likely pre‑Greek; scholars sometimes connect it by folk etymology to Greek myrrha “myrrh” or to the myrtle family, yielding evocative senses of fragrance and greenery, but no single meaning is secure.

Use of Myrina as a personal name has been rare, appearing sporadically in Greece and resurfacing internationally with the recent taste for distinctive mythological choices. Variants and related forms include Myrine (Μυρίνη), Mirina, and the diminutives Rina and Mina; it also sits near Myra and Marina in sound though unrelated etymologically. The name’s spare, lyrical profile and storied warrior association lend it a bold yet elegant character.
