Legina is of Slavic origin, particularly from Bulgarian and Russian backgrounds. It's derived from the male name 'Lev', which means 'lion' in these languages. However, Legina is a female name, often used as a diminutive form of names like Leopoldine or Leontine. It gained popularity as an independent given name in the 20th century.
Legina appears to have been a popular name in the late 60s and early 70s, with a peak of 11 babies named Legina born in 1970. However, it seems that this trend did not continue into the following decades, as there were no recorded births with this name after 1980. In total, there were 43 babies named Legina over this six-year period.
