Tinka is a unique and charming feminine given name of Slavic origin, derived from the Czech word 'tinka', which means 'a small bell'. It is composed of the elements 'ti' meaning 'little' and '-ka', a popular diminutive suffix used in Czech to form pet names or nicknames. Tinka is often associated with sweetness, delicacy, and a gentle nature, much like the sound of a tinkling bell. While it is less commonly heard in English-speaking countries, Tinka adds a touch of exotic charm and uniqueness to those who bear it.
Tinka is a rare name with only two known instances of its use between 1951 and 1970.
