Sina is familiar as the name of the mountain and peninsula associated with the narratives of Moses. Ibn Sina provides a separate cultural association through the history of medicine and philosophy. These references do not establish a shared etymology, so the name's associations should be distinguished from a definitive lexical meaning.
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 →
