What does Lina mean?
As an Arabic name Lina (لينة, lina) means 'a tender young palm tree', a sense that appears in the Quran (Surah al-Hashr), and connects to the root l-y-n ('soft, tender'). Disambiguation: in Europe Lina is commonly a short form of names such as Carolina or Angelina, an unrelated source.
What does Mariam mean?
Mariam (مريم) is a widely used transliteration of the same Arabic name as Maryam, the form of biblical Mary/Miriam honoured in Islam as the mother of the prophet 'Isa. It carries the identical etymology (ultimately the Hebrew Miryam, meaning disputed); the spelling simply reflects regional pronunciation and romanisation preferences.
