Niina

Niina is a Finnish and Estonian feminine name, functioning as the native form of Nina in those languages. Nina itself derives ultimately from the Hebrew name Anne, through the Russian and Slavic short form Nina, though it has also been associated with the Georgian name Nino, borne by the fourth-century saint who brought Christianity to Georgia. Niina follows the characteristic Finnish pattern of doubling vowels to indicate a long vowel sound. Related forms include Nina, Nino, and Anne.
