Name meaning and origin
Lina derives from the root lana (to be soft) in the Arabic language and means soft, fine, and delicate; some sources also link it to the word linah, meaning a young palm tree, and in both explanations the central idea is delicacy and gentleness. This root appears in verse 5 of Surah al-Hashr, which speaks of the palm trees that were cut down, but this does not mean that the name Lina itself appears separately in the Quran.
Known in the Arabic world for centuries, this name has joined the most-chosen girl names in Turkey over the last decade, and from there it reached Azerbaijan as a short, internationally sounding modern name. Its meaning is clear and positive, so there is no Islamic objection to the name's use.
