Liina

Liina is a Finnish and Estonian feminine name that originated as a short form of names ending in the element -liina, itself borrowed from the Swedish or German word for linen or flaxen cloth. It functions independently as a given name throughout Finland and Estonia, where it has been in steady use for well over a century. Related forms include Karoliina, Pauliina, and Viiliina, all of which carry the same suffix from which Liina was extracted.
