Similar spelling alone, however, does not prove an identical history. Knowing the language through which a particular family adopted the name would make the explanation more secure.
The ending “-na” is a common final sound in names such as Lina, Mina and Alina, not a suffix with one shared meaning. Each name has to be considered individually. More girl names ending in -na →
