Pearlina is English in Origin.
Pearlina is an English elaboration of Pearl, formed with the Romance diminutive suffix -ina to mean “little pearl.” The base word Pearl entered English via Middle English perle from Old French perle, ultimately from medieval Latin perla; in symbolism, the gem evokes purity, wisdom, and serene beauty. The name also parallels Italian perlina “small bead/pearl” and Ukrainian perlyna “pearl,” though the given name likely arose independently.
Usage surfaces in English-language records of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, alongside the Victorian fashion for jewel names, and remains uncommon today with occasional vintage-leaning revivals. Variants and relatives include Pearl, Pearline/Pearlene, Perla (Spanish/Italian), Perle (French/German), and the cognates Margaret/Margarita from Greek margarites “pearl.” Alternate spellings seen are Perlina and Pearlena; possible nicknames are Pearl, Lina, and Peri.
