Rumina is Latin in Origin.

Rumina is a feminine name rooted in Latin, taken from the Roman goddess who protected nursing infants and mothers. The theonym likely derives from Latin ruma “breast, teat,” giving the sense “nourisher” or “of breastfeeding.” She was venerated near the Ficus Ruminalis by the Lupercal, and offerings of milk underscored her lactational domain.

As a personal name, Rumina is scarcely attested in antiquity and surfaces in modern times as a rare mythological revival, seen occasionally in Italy and the wider Anglophone world among parents seeking classical or maternal symbolism. Short forms include Rumi and Mina; Nina also appears as a pet name. Very rare variant spellings such as Rumia occur. Related but etymologically distinct names sometimes associated by sound are the Bulgarian Rumiana/Rumyana (“rosy”) and the Italian–Spanish Romina; these are not true variants of Rumina.
