Navina, pronounced nuh-VEE-nuh (/nəˈviːnə/), is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin meaning “new” or “fresh,” and serves as the feminine counterpart to the masculine Navin. In linguistic terms, its root nav- denotes novelty and beginnings, lending the name an association with innovation and renewal. Social Security data in the United States from 2002 through 2023 show that annual occurrences of Navina have ranged narrowly between 5 and 14 births, with its rank fluctuating between 898 (in 2002) and 962 (in 2016), most recently appearing 8 times in 2023 at position 950. This stable presence near the 950th mark suggests that Navina appeals to parents seeking a technically precise yet uncommon choice—one that balances distinctiveness with a clear etymological heritage.
