Originating from Russia, the unique and melodic female given name 'Ailina' is derived from the Slavic elements 'ail' meaning 'otherworldly,' 'spirit,' or 'fairy,' and '-ina,' a feminine suffix. The name Ailina possesses a soft, lyrical quality, making it distinctive yet approachable. It was popularized by Russian writer Ivan Turgenev's novel 'A Sportsman's Sketches,' where he introduced the character Ailine. Despite its Slavic roots, Ailina has been embraced internationally, adding an exotic touch to baby name lists worldwide.
