Iina

Iina is a Finnish feminine name functioning as a short form of longer names ending in -iina, such as Katariina or Kristiina, themselves Finnish adaptations of Katherine and Christina ultimately rooted in Greek. In the Navajo language, iina carries the meaning of life, giving the name an independent native origin in that tradition. The Finnish form shares its heritage with cognates including Iine and the fuller forms from which it derives.
