US Popularity:11497
Origin:Greek
Meaning:Unknown; God, deity
Athina is a feminine name of Greek origin to help baby embrace their intuitive side. A respelling of Athena, this name’s meaning is actually unknown as its root is thought to be pre-Greek. It may be connected to the word theós, which means “god” or “deity,” inviting your little one to connect with their divine spark of life within. Athina links your child to the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, and crafts, Athena, who was born from Zeus' head like a brilliant idea springing out of the mind. Unlike the war god Ares, who is described as quite impulsive in his myths, Athena represents cleverness and making tactical moves to gain the upper hand. If you’d like a name that can remind baby of the power they hold within and to express their thoughts authentically, Athina may just be the one.
