Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Hebrew.
Dina is a girl's and boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a short form of Dinah, from Hebrew Dinah, meaning 'judged' or 'vindicated' — from the Hebrew root din (judgment). Dinah was the daughter of Jacob and Leah in the Book of Genesis.
Dina has been used as an independent name as well as a short form of Bernardina, Wilhelmina, and other -dina names. Clean and direct, it carries the biblical dignity of Dinah alongside a warm, international quality that works across multiple cultures — from Hebrew to Italian to Arabic contexts.
