History & Origin
Zeena is an -ee- spelling of Zena/Zina — variously from Greek, 'hospitable' (a short form of Xenia) or 'of Zeus' (a short form of Zenobia), and from Arabic zina, 'beauty, adornment, grace' (routes layered, which we note; echoing the warrior Xena). A crisp, bold name; the -ee- styling personalizes it (said 'ZEE-nah').
In the U.S. it appears across communities. Rare, hospitable-or-beauty at the root, and bold.
