Deena

Meaning of Deena

Warm and inviting, Deena (pronounced DEE-nuh) traces its roots to the Hebrew name Dina—meaning “judged” or “vindicated”—and carries the quiet strength of Jacob’s daughter in the Bible. Though today Deena nestles around the 900th spot on U.S. name charts—enjoying a modest yet steady presence in nursery rosters for nearly a century—it once climbed into the mid-300s during its mid-20th-century heyday, lending it a beloved, slightly retro charm. With its effortless Anglo-American pronunciation and genuine, down-to-earth feel, Deena shimmers like the first light of morning and brings a playful pep, as if she’s the friend always up for ice cream and impromptu dance parties. Whispering stories of resilience and grace, Deena is the perfect choice for a little girl ready to write her own vibrant chapter.
