Most commonly, Alina or Aline is a short form of Adeline, from an Old German word meaning ‘nobility’.
Aline (which may be rendered in English as Haline because of a "rough breathing" on A) is also documented as classical name in the Oxford Lexicon of Greek Personal Names. The Greek version of the name is derived from "Alinos" meaning "salty".
