Artina

Meaning & origin

Artina is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1954, though it never achieved widespread usage. Its peak year was 1977, a time when many similar-sounding names like Darlene and Arlene were more common. The name has remained stable in occurrence since its peak, with no recent surge or decline. Artina is too uncommon to have a documented 1-in-N rate or rank among the top 1000, but its consistent if sparse usage suggests it has maintained a quiet presence for decades. Without a clear etymology, Artina likely emerged as a modern coinage, perhaps inspired by the popularity of names ending in '-ina' during the mid-20th century.

Artina is a modern English name, appearing in the United States from the mid-20th century. It may be interpreted as a feminization of Arthur, though direct evidence is lacking. Alternatively, it could be a variant of Artina, itself possibly derived from Latin or Greek roots. The name saw modest use in the 1970s, peaking in 1977.
