Shilina is Hindi in Origin.
Shilina is a rare modern feminine given name with several plausible roots. In a Slavic context, it corresponds to the Russian surname Шилина (Shilina), the feminine form of Shilin, tied to shilo “awl” or the verb shit’ “to sew,” hinting at a tailor or cobbler ancestor. In global English use, it may also be an elaboration of Shila/Sheila or a creative feminine of Shiloh (Hebrew for “tranquil, rest”). Some South Asian usage associates it with Sanskrit śīla “virtue, good conduct,” by analogy with the name Shalini.
Attested sporadically since the late 20th century, Shilina remains uncommon but travels well across languages. Variants and near-forms include Shelina, Shylina, Shilena, and Shalina; related names are Shalini, Shiloh, Sheila, and Lina. Short forms such as Shi, Shili, or Lina are typical. Depending on the chosen root, senses range from “craft, handiwork” to “virtue” or “peace.”
