Etymology: The name Nina is present in several languages, including Afrikaans, Hindi, Italian, Persian, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and some Native American languages. The name was borrowed into English in the nineteenth century, mostly from Russian (a full formal name of a Georgian fourth century saint, also known as Nino, of obscure origin and meaning, possibly connected with the Assyrian king Ninus) and Italian (short form of diminutives like Annina (from Anna) and Giovannina (from Giovanna)).
