What is the meaning of the name Ninacska ?

Ninacska is Hungarian in Origin.

Ninacska is a Hungarian affectionate diminutive of Nina, built with the -cska/-ácska suffix that conveys smallness and endearment (spelled Ninácska in fully accented Hungarian). It functions chiefly as a pet name in families and literature rather than a formal registry name, paralleling Slavic -ochka forms. Nina entered Central and Eastern Europe via veneration of St. Nino/Nina and spread widely in the 19th–20th centuries; in Hungary it has modern, international appeal.

Its meaning follows the base Nina, a polygenetic name: a Slavic short form of Antonina (ultimately from the Roman family name Antonius), of Giannina/Ioannina (God is gracious), or linked in Spanish-influenced contexts to niña “little girl”; in Quechua, nina means “fire,” giving a vivid folk etymology. Variants and related nicknames include Ninácska/Ninacska, Nina, Nini, and Ninike; abroad, Ninotchka/Ninochka (Russian), Ninita/Nineta (Spanish), and Ninette (French).
