How Do You Feel About Your Name, Alina?

“I love my name” says Alina, a 27-year-old from the United States.

Alina’s name was only the 910th most popular name in the U.S. the year she was born, but it has since become much more common. It ranked #355 in 2006.

The name Alina has many possible origins. For example, Alina means “noble” in Arabic, is a pet form of Adelina, and is short for names ending in “-alina” (among other things).

What’s one of the reasons Alina likes her name?

I just found out there was an Alina tribe in Afghanistan hundreds of years ago, so that’s cool.

What does Alina not like about her name?

It’s hard for some people to pronounce and remember.

Thanks, Alina!
