Tina
Girl name · 303 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Tina: 303 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 23 births in 1976.
From ancient roots to modern familiarity, Tina began as a short form of Christina, itself derived from the Latin *Christianus*, meaning "a follower of Christ." It emerged as a standalone given name in the 20th century, gaining widespread popularity in the English-speaking world. The most globally recognised bearer is undoubtedly Tina Turner, the legendary American singer whose powerful voice and resilience made her the "Queen of Rock 'n' Roll." Another notable Tina is actress Tina Fey, celebrated for her sharp wit and work on *Saturday Night Live* and *30 Rock*. While no direct place connections spring from the name, its root "Christ-" links it to countless towns and cities worldwide, such as Christchurch in New Zealand. An interesting correlation: Tina saw a significant spike in Scotland during the 1970s, mirroring Tina Turner's rise to fame.
