Awhina is the Maori word for "help" or "support" — from the verb āwhina (to assist). Used as a feminine name evoking the role of helper.
Awhina is widely used in New Zealand.
Awhina does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Awhina reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
