Myrrina is Greek in Origin.

Myrrina is a feminine given name of Greek origin, closely related to the classical form Myrina (Μυρίνη). In mythology, Myrina is named as an Amazon queen and the eponym of ancient cities called Myrina in Lemnos and Aeolis, which helped the name circulate in Hellenistic literature. The meaning is debated: some link it to Greek myron “perfume, unguent” or to the aromatic resin myrrha, giving an aura of fragrance and ritual, while others compare it with Attic Myrrhine, a traditional Athenian name probably connected with the myrtle plant. Because of the competing roots, Myrrina is often interpreted broadly as “fragrant” or “of myrtle.”

Usage has been rare in the Christian era but periodically revived in the 19th–21st centuries by classicizing tastes and by modern Greek bearers. Variants and cognates include Myrina, Myrine, Myrrhine/Myrrhina, Mirina, and the related Myrrha; diminutives may shorten to Mira or Myra.
