Merlina is a girl's name of French and Welsh origin. As a variant of the Old French title Merle, Merlina translates to "blackbird." If you love to admire nature's many wonders, this name could inspire your little one to share your hobby! Adding an -a to the Welsh Merlin spells Merlina, so it's possibly Merlin's feminine variant. Deriving from the Old Welsh moniker Myrddin, Merlin means "sea fortress," a definition that Merlina carries within its waves. While baby Merlina learns to spread their wings and explore the world, they will be reminded to respect the earth, the seas, and every creature they meet.
