What could Lina be short for?

[BabyLlamaZen]

Lina pronounced 'Lee-na'

I also like Lena pronounced 'Lay-na'

I have a friend who goes by Lena (pronounced Leena) whose real name is Emmalene

Rosalina

Melina
Rosaline/Rosalina
Carolina
Marcellina

it's a proper french name all alone on it's own. not short for anything...i have a few in my family.

I would say Lena as Leena not Layna if I saw it written down and I think most English speakers would.

I know a Leena(full name), always liked that name.

Lena is really nice and sounds stronger and more interesting than Lina which sounds like an ending for something else.

I know a Catalina and a Linnea (Finnish)

Bellina?

Elena
Angelina
Catalina
Evalina
Marilena

Rosalina

Evelina is cute!

Helena

Elena

Lena is short for Helena

Lena is a name pronounced lee-na, just call the baby Lena if you like it.

It is a name in its own right. I know a girl called "Lina". It's a beautiful name!

Like Lena Zavaronni - that was a long tine ago!

Pasquelina (it means little Easter, I think).

Just call her Lina if you like that name

I know an Elina and a Lena. (Pronounced Lee-na).
