feminine · Finnish origin
Aina carries several distinct origins across different linguistic traditions. In the Scandinavian languages it developed as a variant of Aino, the tragic heroine of the Finnish national epic the Kalevala, whose name is thought to mean only or the only one. In Catalan it functions as a regional form of Anna, itself derived from the Hebrew Hannah, meaning grace or favor. The name also exists independently in Latvian, Japanese, and Kazakh contexts, and is closely related to Aino, Anna, and Hannah.
