📖 About Nina
Nina is a name of remarkable cross-cultural reach, emerging independently in Slavic, Spanish, Italian, and Quechua traditions. In Slavic countries it stands as both an independent name and a short form of names like Antonina. In Spanish it simply means 'little girl,' while in Quechua it means 'fire.' The name is deeply revered in Georgia thanks to Saint Nino of Cappadocia, who brought Christianity there in the 4th century. Its soft sound and timeless elegance have made it beloved worldwide.
