Masina
m(a)-si-na
US Popularity:21279
Origin:Pacific Islander
Meaning:Moon; Machine; Twin
The feminine name Masina's potential meanings beam in from several different directions. In the Samoan language, the word masina translates to "moon," so this moniker is a lovely choice for a little one whose inner radiance is unmistakable. Masina could also stem from the Hindi language, and the word maśīna, which means "machine." Every time your kiddo is "on" and full of energy, you'll be reminded of this particular definition! Perhaps Masina is simply a shortened form of Tomasina, an Italian title that finds its roots in the Greek Thomas. Translating to "twin" from the Aramaic Te'oma, Tomasina's last six letters are identical to Masina.
