What does the name Nyna mean?

Nyna is a Bulgarian spelling variant of the first name Nina, which is a short form of names ending in '-nina.' These include, among others, Antonina, Giannina, or Katharina. Antonina is considered a variant of Antonia, which traces back to the Roman family name Antōnius. The first name means 'the one from the Antonian lineage.' Additionally, there is a possibility of deriving it from the ancient Greek name Antonios (Αντώνιος), which is translated as 'the Valuable,' 'the Invaluable,' 'the Worthy,' or 'the Unsellable.' It is derived from the two ancient Greek elements anti (ἀντἰ) meaning 'against' and ṓnios (ὤνιος) meaning 'buyable,' 'for sale,' or 'acquirable.' Giannina is an Italian form of Johanna, which originally comes from Johannes. The name translates to 'God is gracious' and 'God is merciful,' and more freely interpreted as 'the God-given' or 'the gift of God.' Its roots lie in the ancient Hebrew Yôchânân or Yehochanan, which derives from the two words yo (יֹו) or yeho (יְהוֹ) meaning 'the name of God' and ḥanán (חָנַן) meaning 'to be gracious,' 'to be merciful,' 'to grant grace,' or 'to show mercy.' Katharina traces back to Aikaterine (Αἰκατερίνη). The name means 'the Pure,' a meaning that was 'incorrectly' attributed by the Romans and has persisted to this day. Its origin lies in the ancient Greek word katharós (καθαρός), which stands for 'pure,' 'clean,' 'unblemished,' and 'chaste.' Besides this commonly accepted derivation since early Christianity, there are other possible origins and meanings. Other variants include Ninka, Ninelle, Ninela, Ninette, Ninett, and Ninetta.
