Asinat is a girl's baby name of Polynesian origin, the Fijian and Tongan form of Asenath, the biblical Egyptian name meaning "she who belongs to Neith." In the Pacific Islands, the name arrived through Christian missionary influence and took root in local naming traditions.
Asinat carries a remarkable journey — from ancient Egypt through the Hebrew scriptures and Christian missions to the Pacific Ocean, a name that has traveled the world and found a home under the Southern Cross.
