What is the meaning of the name Tina ?

The baby name Tina is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TEE-nə.

Tina is English, Greek, Latin in Origin.

Tina is chiefly an English and wider European hypocorism, formed by clipping feminine names that end in -tina, especially Christina, Martina, Valentina, and Kat(a)rina forms. Its most historically prominent source, Christina, continues Greek Christianós through Latin Christianus/Christina, with the feminine suffix -a; the underlying sense is follower of Christ. In Tina itself, the final two syllables were reinterpreted as a free-standing pet form rather than a lexical word.

As an independent given name, Tina expanded in English-speaking countries after the 1930s and reached its American peak in 1968. It ranked in the U.S. Top 100 from 1956 to 1982, with comparable mid-century use in Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Continental usage often reflects local bases: Tiina in Finnish and Estonian, Tine in Danish and Norwegian, and Tina as a Georgian short form of Tinatin. Notable bearers include Tina Turner and Tina Fey.
