Kellina

US Popularity Rank: 24401

Origin: Scottish

Meaning: Strong-willed; Caring; Loving

Kellina is a girl's name with Gaelic roots. It shares Scottish and Irish origins and is inspired by the eternally popular given name, Kelly. It's harkens back to the surname Kelly, from the Irish and Scottish clan names, O Ceallaigh, which pointed to descendants of Ceallach. Kellina presents a parent with a fresh and precious (freshious, anyone?) reimagining of a classic. Better still, you can have high hopes of raising a kind and independent-minded young woman, for Kellina means "strong-willed, "caring," and" loving" in equal measure.
