Meaning and background
The story behind Zina
Zina is documented in the main name reference as a short form of Zinaida. That explicit relationship is more reliable than borrowing a translation from another similarly written word or name. A dog owner may choose Zina independently for daily use or as a tribute to someone called Zinaida. The shorter spelling can remain the intended full name while a deeper historical account follows the linked source name's evidence.
