What Does the Name Dalina Mean?
Dalina is a feminine name usually derived from the Lithuanian name Dalia. Dalia comes from the Lithuanian common noun dalia, meaning "share" or "portion," and by extension "fate" or "fortune." The ending -ina creates a related feminine form, so Dalina has the same core sense. "Fate" and "fortune" are customary English glosses; the literal image is that of a portion or share allotted to someone.
