Rina is Hebrew, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Sanskrit, Spanish in Origin.

Rina is a multicultural feminine name with several roots. In Hebrew (רינה), it means "joy; song of praise," appearing in liturgical phrases and adopted widely in modern Israeli naming. In Japanese, Rina is written with various kanji - such as 莉奈, 里奈, 梨奈, or 理奈 - so meanings range from "jasmine" and "village" to "pear" or "reason," typically paired with the feminine suffix -na. Across Europe it also functions as a short form of names ending in -rina or -ina, and as a clipped form of Irina.

Use broadened in the 20th century, when diminutives like Rina became independent given names in many languages. Variants and spellings include Reena (common in South Asia), Rena, and Rinah; related forms comprise Irina/Irene, Karina, Marina, Sabrina, Caterina/Katerina, and Katarina. Depending on origin, Rina’s meaning centers on Hebrew "joyful song," on the meanings of Japanese kanji chosen, or on the root name from which it is derived.
