Myrinna is in Origin.

Myrinna is a modern elaboration of the Greek name Myrina/Myrine, borne by a legendary Amazon queen and linked to ancient Aegean place‑names, notably the coastal town of Myrina on Lemnos. The etymology is uncertain, but the name is often associated with Greek myrrha/myron (“myrrh; perfumed oil”) or compared to the classical name Myrrhine, meaning “myrtle,” lending Myrinna connotations of fragrance and evergreen grace rather than a single fixed translation.

In literature and inscriptions, the older form appears as Myrina; Myrrhine is a distinct but related‑sounding Athenian name. Myrinna, with its doubled n, is a contemporary variant adopted for euphony and to distinguish it from Marina or Myrna. The name remains rare in modern usage, surfacing in Greece and internationally among families drawn to mythic, place‑linked heritage. Related forms and nicknames include Myrina, Myrine, Mirina, Myrrhine (related), Myra, Rina, Rinna, and Mina.
