Myna is a unique and uncommon given name of Slavic origin, derived from the Slavic word "myna," which means "nightingale." This name has been traditionally used among Eastern European communities, particularly in countries such as Russia and Ukraine. The nightingale is renowned for its enchanting melody, making Myna an apt choice for parents who wish to bestow their child with a moniker that evokes musicality and grace.
The name Myna experienced peaks and valleys in popularity over the past century, with notable spikes occurring around the late 1940s to early 1950s, and again in the late 2010s. Interestingly, there was a significant gap in recorded births from 1963 until 1999, suggesting a period of decline or lack of data availability. Despite fluctuations, Myna has remained a relatively uncommon name throughout most of its history, with an overall total of 293 births spanning over a hundred years.
