Kina

Does anyone know where it comes from? I found the name Alickina a while ago and didn't like it but thought the second part: Kina would make a good name. Does it have any meaning?

Quina (rarely spelt Kina) is a short form of Joaquina.

It is rare but Kina is used as a name in Sweden. Kina is also the word for China. It is pronounced both like sheena and k-eena (hard K). I tried to find out more about its origin and meaning but I had no luck. I doubt there's any connection to the country though.

Kina is a word for China in South Slavic languages. I've never seen it as a personal name.
