Ginna
Meaning of Ginna
Ginna, pronounced /ˈdʒɪnə/, constitutes an Anglo-American variant of the diminutive Gina—itself derived from the Latin Regina, meaning “queen,” or from the Greek-rooted Georgina, denoting “earth-worker”—and thus conveys connotations of sovereignty, dignity, and grounded refinement. United States birth records first register Ginna in 1947 at rank 684, followed by intermittent usage through the late twentieth century and a steady, modest presence since the early 1980s; in 2024, fourteen newborns received the name, placing it 936th in popularity and underscoring its enduring appeal outside the most frequented tiers of feminine appellations. Within onomastic and sociolinguistic studies, Ginna exemplifies how a concise phonological form can sustain historical resonance while accommodating contemporary naming preferences, appealing to those who seek both etymological depth and an understated individuality.
