Adina 2

Adina is a Romanian feminine given name of uncertain origin. It is most likely a short form of Adelina, which itself derives from a Germanic name containing the element adal meaning "noble" (from Proto-Germanic *aþalaz).

In Romanian usage, Adina is a relatively modern name, gaining popularity in the 20th century. It is sometimes associated with the Hebrew name Adina (עֲדִינָה), meaning "delicate" or "slender," but the Romanian form is etymologically distinct.

Notable bearers include Romanian actress Adina Pintilie and Romanian singer Adina Popescu. The name remains common in Romania and among Romanian diaspora communities.
