If you're looking for a name blooming with inspiration for your little one, Heena could make for a lovely fit. Rich with floral imagery, this feminine name is a variant of Hina, a Japanese name meaning "light," "sun," and "vegetables." Through its alternate Arabic and Nepali origins, Heena is also closely associated with mehndi, the South Asian art of drawing intricate designs using a paste from the henna plant.
