What does the name Romina mean?
Romina has been used in the US since the mid-20th century, but its origin is not documented in the sources we checked. Wiktionary records it as an English and Albanian girls' name without an etymology. It looks like a diminutive built on Roma or Romano, and that is the usual guess, but we could not confirm it, so we do not give a meaning.
How sure is this? Not documented. No etymology in our sources; a link with Roma/Romano is plausible but unconfirmed.
Related names: Romy, Roma, Romana.
