History & Origin
Jeena reads first as a clean spelling of Gina, the short form of Regina ('queen') or Angelina, and second as the Hindi word jeena, 'to live'. Most American families chose it for the familiar Gina sound, but the South Asian meaning gives it an appealing double life; we keep the routes separate.
It was always rare, a couple dozen girls a year around the early nineteen-nineties. It reads as a crisp, of-its-moment name with a pleasant hidden meaning.
