Medina is a girl’s name of Arabic origin. This habitational name translates to "city," more specifically “city of the Prophet.” Medina commonly refers to a city in Saudi Arabia, where the prophet Muhammad began his work to establish Islam. The name also has links to Spain, where it is also used as a place name for a handful of towns and cities.
