Geena is an English variant of the name Gina, itself a short form of names ending in -gina, most notably Regina, from the Latin regina meaning queen, or Georgina, derived from the Greek Georgios meaning farmer or earth-worker. The name came into broader use in the twentieth century as an independent given name rather than solely a nickname. American actress Geena Davis brought particular visibility to this spelling in the 1980s and 1990s. Related forms include Gina, Jina, and Gianna.
