Meaning and origin of Divina

Divina is a Latin and Spanish name that means “divine”.

Divina is a Latin, Spanish and Italian name meaning divine, from the Latin divinus, of a god. It has been used in Catholic countries as a devotional name, sometimes linked to the Divina Pastora, the Divine Shepherdess, a title of the Virgin Mary popular in Spain and Venezuela. It is said dih-VEE-nuh, with the stress on the middle syllable. Davina, a Scottish feminine of David, sounds similar but is unrelated. Dante's Divina Commedia gives the word a literary echo. Vina is a possible short form.
