Shaina is a girl’s name that means “beautiful.” The name Shaina is Yiddish and is reminiscent of the phrase shein. As a variant of Shana, short for Shannon, Shaina can also mean “old” or “ancient” in Irish. It can even mean “lily,” or “rose” in Hebrew if you consider it a sister name to sweet Shoshana. Others also believe the male name Yehochanan is connected to the name Shaina, translating it to “God is gracious.” A name like Shaina will not only remind your little one of the gift they are but of the beauty that lies both inside and out, too.
