Divina is a Spanish and Italian name meaning 'divine,' a direct borrowing of the Latin divinus.

Its distribution is concentrated in Texas and California, reflecting its appeal in communities with Hispanic heritage.

Divina is the feminine form of the Spanish and Italian word divino, meaning 'divine,' ultimately from Latin divinus. It has been used as a given name in Spanish- and Italian-speaking communities, often in reference to the Virgin Mary under titles such as Divina Pastora (Divine Shepherdess). The name gained modest use in the United States, particularly among Hispanic families.
