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 Latin Christianus meaning follower of Christ, which traces back to the Greek Christos, the anointed one. The name has been widely used in Finland and Estonia throughout the twentieth century, enjoying particular popularity in the mid-1900s. Related forms include Tiina's source name Kristiina, as well as the broader Christina and Tina found across many European languages.
