Sheinna is Hebrew, Scottish in Origin.
Sheinna is a rare modern feminine name most plausibly shaped by two streams: the Yiddish Sheina/Shayna, from sheyn “beautiful,” and the English-Scottish Sheena, an anglicized form of Gaelic Sìne (Jane), ultimately Hebrew Yohanan “God is gracious.” Depending on family tradition, it can therefore carry either the meaning “beautiful” or “God is gracious,” and some parents appreciate its blended, multicultural resonance. The double n distinguishes it from the more familiar Sheina or Sheena while preserving similar sounds.
Documented use clusters in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, in English-speaking settings and Jewish communities where Sheina/Shayna is well known, as well as among families drawn to the Sheena line. Close variants and cognates include Sheina, Shayna, Shaina, Sheena, Sheenah, Shena, Sìne, and Sinéad. Diminutive or nickname options include Shay, Shey, and Nina.
