Help[Facts] Anyone know the correct origin of Kyna?
I've seen a few different sites, say it's Irish, and others say it's English, and others say it's Gaelic.
Anyone know what the correct origin it is from please?

I can tell you that it's definitely not Gaelic. Gaelic has no letter K or letter Y in the alphabet.
My guess is that Kyna may be a modern coinage, based on names like Kyra, Kyla etc. as possibly a feminine form of Kynan. It seems to be most popular in Australia, where Kynan seems to be more popular than anywhere else.
