Nina has converged from multiple traditions. In Russian, Nina is a diminutive of Antonina. In Spanish, niña means "little girl." In Hebrew, Nina is a diminutive of Hannah, meaning "grace." In Quechua (Andean Indigenous), nina means "fire."
Nina is widely used across Russia, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and Latin America. The American jazz singer Nina Simone (1933-2003) is one of the most iconic Ninas. Today the name sits in the U.S. top 350.
Nina reduces to six — the number of soft graceful warmth.
