Paladina is Italian, Latin in Origin.

Paladina is the feminine form of the Italian paladino, ultimately from Latin palatinus “of the palace,” a title for imperial courtiers. Through medieval French and Italian epics about Charlemagne’s peers, paladin came to mean a chivalrous champion; Paladina therefore carries the sense of “defender,” “protector,” or “noble champion,” with an echo of courtly prestige.

As a given name, Paladina is rare and modern, appearing sporadically in Italy and occasionally in Spanish-speaking regions, where paladina also functions as the common noun for a female champion. Usage today may be bolstered by literary and fantasy associations with paladins as righteous knights. Variants and related forms include masculine Paladino (Italian), Paladín (Spanish), English Paladin, and Paladine (rare French feminine form). The surname Paladino/Paladina is well established in southern Italy. Possible nicknames include Dina and Lina.
