Dina Hebrew: דִּינָה Dinah [diˈna];/ˈdnə/ (Arabic: دينا Dīnā [ˈdiːnæ(ː)] is a female given name which is sometimes an alternative spelling of the names Dinah, Dena and Deena, which holds meanings such as justified, judged, and vindicated.

In the Balkans, Dina is popular among Bosniaks in the former Yugoslav nations. The name is derived from the Hebrew word לדון (ladoon), meaning to discuss. It is similar to other popular names in this group, such as Edina and Adina. It is often used as a nickname for women with "din" in their name. This region also has a male equivalent: Dino (for example, Dino Abazović).
