Tiina

Tiina is a Finnish and Estonian feminine name that developed as a short form of Kristiina, itself the regional adaptation of Christina, ultimately derived from the Latin Christianus meaning follower of Christ, which in turn traces back to the Greek Christos, the anointed one. The name has been widely used in Finland and Estonia throughout the twentieth century and remains a familiar given name in both countries. Related forms include Kristiina, Tiina's full-length counterpart, as well as Tina, the equivalent short form found across many European languages.
