One of my best friends is named Alina (I believe she is Slavic in origin) and we both agree that her name is very pretty. It wasn't as common in use back when we were born, but we think it's great that more people are starting to appreciate its beauty.

Alina Zagitova, born 18.05.2002, is an Olympic champion in ladies' single figure skating and the youngest skater ever to win a Grand Slam - every important gold medal in the sport (Olympics, Worlds, Europeans, Nationals, Grand Prix Final, Junior Worlds, Junior Nationals, Junior Grand Prix Final), she managed to do it by the age of 16. Originally Tatar, she was named after a famous Russian rhythmic gymnast Alina Kabaeva. Despite being the best skater in the world at the moment, she is considered to have a really strong character - Alina left her hometown and her parents at the age of 13 to train with the best coach in Moscow, managed to continue skating under big pressure after winning Olympics at the age of 15, to do really difficult elements as well as to skate with great grace and flow.

I have always hated my name; however, after realizing it's rare I fell in love with it. But recently I have noticed the name is picking up momentum and it's losing its value. I have met 6 people with the same name. 1 girl from my linguistics class, the other 3 were named after me, and the other 3 were from South Asia. Well, at least I have my middle name, that's pretty rare too and I hope No one names their kid that except my best friend.

My name is Alina and here in Australia it is not too common, but still a nice name which I love because I would hate to have a name that's overused. However, it is still common enough for people to know of it when they hear it, although I have gotten a large and amusing variety of spellings throughout my 17 years including: Uleena, Arleana, Elena, Ulina, Aleena, Alinah and Ahlina.

I'm in my fifties and have only met a handful of other girls with my name. As a kid you just want to fit in so I hated having a different name. When I started dating, guys loved my name so I finally started loving it too. It also makes you memorable.
Glad to see so many here.

I know someone with this name, and yes she is Italian. For some reason, its often butchered as "Elena". I hate to say this, but I think it's best only to use this name if you're Italian or any of the other ethnicities it originates from. Otherwise it looks kind of creative or made up.

I'm jealous of anyone lucky enough to have this absolutely beautiful name. Alina sounds soft and feminine, with no harsh sounds. I love the way it means "to soothe" in Romanian. It really doesn't surprise me - Alina sounds very soothing, caressing and calming.

My best friend spells her name Aleena, but that variant is not on this site. She was born in Pakistan, but she says that most people there with her name spell it Alina. I think both ways are very beautiful, but I prefer Aleena to Alina.

Here in Finland, I haven't heard a single bad word about it. Most people love it! It's not common, that makes it special. Girls can easily use it as a first name, or second first name. Here I don't know anyone else named Alina, in Russia, I know one. It's easy to spell too! I love it! I feel lucky to have it. -Owner of name

This is SUCH a pretty name, and judging by the other comments, it has beautiful meanings in other languages. This name never caught on in Finland despite the popularity of the name Elina. I personally think Alina sounds nicer, and in Finnish, the first syllable is always stressed, so you can actually tell the difference, which you could hardly do in English. Whether you put the stress on the first or second syllable, it's a lovely name.

Alina is one of the unusual and not common names in Russia as well. There are two pronunciations of this name one is with AH-lina and another is with first "a" pronounced as in Adam or Evan. And of course there is a famous and very old Russian name Alena with "E" in it pronounced as in YOrk.
To me it sounds very gentle and beautiful, a light haired fair skin princess?!

I don't like "Al" as a nickname for a girl. And I don't fancy "Lina" either. My name is Leanne and I've gotten "lean" all my life. "Elaina" or "Elanya" are both prettier sounding and looking than "Alina".

In Romania, the verb "alina" means to soothe, to confort or to make the emotional pain, such as missing a person, bearable, like a painkiller:). My mother named me after this. It's a popular name in Romania and nobody thinks of it as noble.
