Brina

Brina is a Slovene feminine given name. It is the feminine form of the Slovene masculine name Brin, which means "juniper" in Slovene. The name thus references the juniper plant, which is native to the region. While the male form is relatively rare, the female variant Brina has seen modest usage in Slovenia. It may also be encountered in other South Slavic contexts, though not common. Notable bearers of the name include contemporary Slovene individuals named Brina. The synonymy with the apple cultivar is coincidental and unrelated to the name's use as a personal name.
