My name is Tina and in Iran this name means rose and lover of caress and in other countries it means goddess of love and goddess of kindness.
According to Etymology.com, *Tina- is West Germanic for "Day".
In Finnish "Tina" literally means "tin", the chemical element.
Tina is a common female given name. It originates from Old English 'Tyne, Tyna, Tina', meaning 'river'. It is also a nickname for names such as Bettina, Christina, Christine, Martina, Valentina, etc. The masculine counterpart is Tino. In Finland and Estonia the name is often written as Tiina.
Tina is NOT used as a diminutive for Katarina in Croatia, but for Kristina and other names ending in -Tina (like Martina, Valentina, etc.).
Can be used as a short nickname for "Christina", or by it's own diminutive form.
My father told me that Tina is an Indian name meaning little princes.
Tina isn't always short for something, the same as Tino, so the information needs a few changes.
Tina is Latin and means "little one".
