Meaning:Jewel, precious stone
Opalina is a girl’s name that is as rare and precious as the gemstone from which it comes. Meaning “jewel,” or “precious stone.” Opalina derives from the Hindi name Opal, as well as the Sanskrit word upala, which is also the name for the iridescent, colorful mineraloid so often found in jewelry. Opalina is a beautiful name for Hindu parents who want to give baby a meaningful Hindi name. Some may also believe it means “a beloved woman,” in Kannada. And since opals are the birthstone for October, Opalina is fitting for Libras and Scorpios born in this autumnal month.
