Gina

US Popularity Rank: 3211

Origin: Italian

Meaning: Queen

Gina is a beautiful girl’s name with Latin, Italian, and Greek origins meaning “queen.” The name Gina may derive from the mythical Greek nymph, Aegina, who resided on an island named after her. Aegina is visited by many each year and lies in the Saronic Gulf between Attica and the Peloponnesos. In terms of popularity, Gina was at her height in the United States during the late 1950s and early 1960s when the name ranked 105th in the top 1,000. Since then, Gina has sunk to an all-time low. Isn’t time we bought back this stunning name?
