Ondina is Latin in Origin.
Ondina is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form derived from Latin unda “wave,” via Medieval Latin undina “water nymph.” It carries the dual sense of “little wave” and “water nymph,” linked to the Undine tradition introduced by Paracelsus and embraced by Romantic-era literature and the performing arts, which helped move the name into broader secular use in Romance-speaking cultures.
Recorded in Italy, Iberia, and Brazil from the late 19th century onward, Ondina remains uncommon yet recognizable. Variants and cognates include Ondine (French/English), Undine (German/English), Undina (Slavic languages), and the Latinized form Undina. Nicknames often shorten to Dina, Nina, or Nini; a rare masculine counterpart, Ondino, appears in Italian and Portuguese. The name’s fluid imagery and lyrical cadence appeal to families seeking a myth-tinged, pan-Romance choice with international familiarity and maritime charm.
