Nina
Nina is a girl’s name with various possible origins, arguably the most well-known being Spanish. Aptly meaning “little girl,” this simple title never seems to go out of style. In Russian, Nina is a variation of the name Anne, a commonly-used and classic name across many English-speaking countries. Sharing her name with the Incan goddess of fire, Nina can be inspired to let her flame burn bright. Also connected to a Babylonian goddess, there is no shortage of heavenly influences for this little girl.
