Iina

Iina is a Finnish feminine name that functions as a short form of longer names ending in -iina, such as Katariina or Kristiina, themselves Finnish adaptations of Katherine and Christina. The Finnish forms ultimately trace back to Greek Aikaterine and Latin Christiana respectively, though Iina is used as an independent given name in its own right. In Navajo, iina means life, making Iina a culturally distinct name with entirely separate roots in that tradition. Related forms include Ina, Iines, and Katariina.
