History & Origin

Navina sits closest in sound and shape to the Sanskrit navina, 'new, fresh, young,' a word used in Indian naming; it also stands near Davina, a Scottish feminine of David, and Lavinia, a name from Roman legend. Because the route for this particular spelling is not documented in the naming sources, we offer the Sanskrit link honestly as an echo rather than a proven descent, and present Navina as a modern name of uncertain route (said 'nuh-VEE-nuh').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, graceful, and cross-cultural.

Did you know? The Sanskrit navina simply means 'new' - the same nav that gives Navratri its 'nine' and navya its freshness - and Navina echoes it closely.
