The baby name Paulina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced paw-LEE-nə (English: /pɔːˈliːnə/ or /pɑːˈliːnə/; Spanish/Polish: /pauˈlina/).
Paulina is Latin in Origin.
Paulina is the feminine form of the Latin name Paulinus, ultimately from Paulus, “small; humble.” It appears in imperial Rome as a family name and cognomen - borne by the deified empress Caecilia Paulina (Diva Paulina). In Christian Europe the name gained favor as a devotional counterpart to Paul, used by nobles and commoners from the Middle Ages onward, and it remains especially familiar in Poland, Spain, and Latin America.
International variants include Pauline (English, French, German), Paolina (Italian), Paulīna (Latvian), Pavlína (Czech/Slovak), and Polina (Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian; sometimes also from Apollinariya). Related forms are Paula and Paola. Nicknames range from Lina, Pau, and Poli to Paulinka in Polish. The meaning emphasizes modesty and smallness - “little one” or “humble” - blending classical roots with Christian tradition; notable bearer: Saint Paulina of the Agonizing Heart of Jesus.
