Moina is a girl's name of Indian origin, derived from the Sanskrit word 'Moinara', which means 'precious stone'. It has a unique and elegant sound, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their daughter. In India, Moina is often associated with the Hindu goddess Saraswati, who embodies knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and learning. Thus, naming a child Moina can signify wishes for her to possess these qualities. The name has gained global recognition over time, appearing in various forms such as 'Moyna' or 'Moinara', but its core essence remains rooted in Indian culture and traditions.
"Moina was quite popular for newborn girls twice within the span of twelve years, with five babies being named Moina each year in 1923 and again in 1935."
