Lyna is a French given name that functions as a variant of Lina (2). Historically, Lina originated as a short form of names ending in lina, such as Adeline, Carolina, or Clementina, and remains widely used across Europe as a diminutive or standalone name. Lyna appears as an alternative spelling that preserves the same phonetic quality while offering a distinct orthographic variant, appealing to French-speaking parents who prefer a softer or more modern visual representation.
