Miina

Miina is a Finnish and Estonian feminine name functioning as an independent short form of Vilhelmina or Wilhelmina, the feminine equivalent of Wilhelm, which derives from the Old High German elements wil (will, desire) and helm (helmet, protection). It has been in use in the Nordic and Baltic regions since the nineteenth century, when longer German-derived names were fashionable across northern Europe. The name shares its roots with cognates such as Mina, Minna, and Wilhelmina, all drawing on the same Germanic source.
