Mina, Minnah, Meena (Arabic: مِنّه mīnā) is an Arabic female given name transformed from the female given name "Amina", but perhaps the Arabic "Mina" is the Persian "Mina" which bears the meaning "stained (tinted) glass mirror", artistic paint (also generic name for enamel or varnish) for porcelain and metal.
Mina is a unisex name which means the month of March in the Cambodian language, Khmer.
It may be written various ways in kanji, including 美奈, 美那, 南 and 未菜.
Mina is also another name of lapis lazuli (Persian: لاجورد lājward, colloquially "lāzward") Mina is also the name for the birds mockingbird or myna ('morgh-e-mina' [Persian: مرغِ مينا murgh-i mīnā, literal meaning "Mina bird"]), which easily repeats many sounds like a human voice and the name of the flower marguerite (marguerite daisy) ("gol-e-mina" [Persian: گلِ مينا gul-i mīnā, literal meaning "Mina flower"]).
Meena or Mina (Pashto: مینه) means "love" in Pashto, an Eastern Iranian language spoken in Afghanistan and the Pashtun Diaspora of Pakistan,[5] which is the feminine noun for the word "lover" – the masculine form is "māyan میين".
