Geena
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Geena: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2002.
Geena is a modern spelling variation of Gina, which itself can be a short form of Georgina (from Greek georgos, meaning 'farmer') or of Regina (Latin for 'queen'). The most famous bearer is the Oscar-winning American actress Geena Davis, known for her roles in *Thelma & Louise* and *A League of Their Own*, who also founded the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. The name also appears in the world of nature, as the geena is a female rabbit in some slang uses. While not tied directly to any Scottish places, the name's cheerful sound has made it a bright, international favourite, often chosen as an updated take on the more traditional Gina.
