Tiina

Oh, Tiina—what a simply sweet title for your new arrival. This feminine name is considered a short form of Kristiina, a Finnish and Estonian form of the Greek- and Latin-rooted Christina. This association also makes it a variant of the popular Tina, giving Tiina the meanings “Christian,” “follower of Christ,” and “from the river.” With its strong links to the spiritual, opting for this charming moniker will make a perfect fit if you’re hoping to raise baby in a particular faith. Still, Tiina will work perfectly if you have a secular point of view, too—making an ideal companion for your little one as they flow down the river of life while following the beat of their own drum.
