Pauliina is Finnish in Origin.
Pauliina is the Finnish feminine form of Pauline/Paulina, ultimately derived from the Roman family name Paulus, interpreted as "small" or "humble." The characteristic double i marks a long vowel in Finnish orthography, and the -liina ending fits native naming patterns while preserving the Latin root conveyed through Christian Europe.
In Finland, Pauliina appears in records from the 19th century, gained steady currency in the postwar decades, and saw peak popularity from the 1970s into the 1990s; it remains recognizable though less frequently bestowed today. The name’s pathway reflects the veneration of Saint Paul, whose legacy propelled Paul/Paula/Paulina forms across medieval and early modern Europe. International variants include Pauline (English/French), Paulina (Polish, Spanish, and Nordic), Paolina (Italian), Pavlina (Czech, Bulgarian), Polina (Russian), Paulien (Dutch), Paulīna (Latvian), and Pálína (Icelandic); related forms include Paula.
