Meaning & origin
Solina is a modern feminine name that has been gently rising in use since 2012. First recorded in 1973, it remained a rarity for decades, but by 2025 it reached its peak rank of 6,116th in the U.S., with an incidence of about 1 in 84,593 newborns. The name's sunny, melodic sound likely draws from the Spanish word for sun, making it appealing to parents seeking a name that feels both contemporary and warm. Its trajectory suggests it may continue to gain favor, though it remains uncommon enough to feel distinctive.
Solina appears to be a modern coinage, likely derived from the Spanish word 'sol' (sun) combined with the feminine suffix '-ina'. It may also be a variant of the Spanish name Solana, meaning 'sunshine' or 'south wind'. The name first entered U.S. records in 1973 but remained very rare until the 2010s, when it began a steady rise in usage.
