What is the meaning of the name salina ?

The baby name salina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced suh-LEE-nuh (IPA: səˈliːnə).

salina is Greek, Italian, Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Salina carries twin lineages: as a variant of Selina/Selena from Greek Selēnē “moon,” and from Latin salina “saltworks,” source of many Mediterranean toponyms such as the Aeolian island Salina. As a given name it is usually read in the “moon” tradition, evoking lunar light and serenity, while the Latin strand lends a maritime, mineral note linked to salt and shore.

Documented in English-language records since the 18th–19th centuries, Salina also appears in Spanish and Italian contexts and in South Asia via English spelling, sometimes as Saleena. Common variants include Selina, Celina, Selena, Salena, and Saleena; related forms are Selene and Céline/Celine. Lina is a familiar nickname. Usage has remained modest yet steady, with appeal for parents seeking a mellifluous alternative to Selena that still carries luminous, classical associations.
