Kinga
Meaning of Kinga
The name Kinga is a charming and unique choice for baby girls, with roots deeply embedded in Hungarian culture. Pronounced as KEEN-gah (/kiˈŋɑ/), this name carries a sense of elegance and distinction. Kinga is associated with Saint Kinga of Poland, also known as Cunegunda, who was a 13th-century princess revered for her piety and charitable works. Despite its rich historical background, the name has maintained a relatively low profile in the United States, appearing sporadically over the years. For instance, it was given to 16 newborns in 2008, ranking at 7740 that year. Although not widely used, Kinga's rarity adds to its allure, making it an excellent option for parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name for their daughter.
