Name meaning and origin
Khina comes from the Arabic word hinna (henna) and denotes the reddish-yellow powdery substance made from this dye plant. The word entered the Azerbaijani language through Persian and Turkic languages and appears in dialects both as xına and qına.
Because of the henna night custom, in which henna is applied to the bride's hands at wedding ceremonies, the word has come to be seen as a symbol of joy, happiness, and abundance. Though rarely used as a name, parents can choose it for their child to carry the joy that a wedding celebration brings.
