Etymology

[edit]

Borrowed into English in the nineteenth century, apparently from several sources. Many borrowings are ofRussianНи́на(Nína), the name of a Georgian fourth-century saint, also known asNino, of obscure origin and meaning, possibly connected with theAssyrian kingNinus. Others are of anItalian short form of diminutives likeAnnina fromAnna andGiovannina fromGiovanna.

Phonologically or orthographically similar names are present in several languages, including Afrikaans, Hindi, Italian, Persian, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and some Native American languages. In many of those, it is a nickname for names ending in-ina or-nina.
