The meaning is very beautiful. Not so sure on the actual name, however...

What a lovely name! I like it.

It doesn't mean always in Finnish. Aino was a girl in the Finnish Epic book called Kalevala.

Some immigrants in Sweden call the police "Aina". Anyway, I love the name.

It's interesting to discover years later that the initial kreatyv spylyng I used for my own name (when I was going through my kreatyv spylyng phase at age twelve) is actually a real name in some cultures, albeit with a different pronunciation. It has a sweet sound and a lovely meaning.

Though this site lists Aina as being of Spanish origin, a large book I own by Leslie Dunkling and William Gosling entitled "The New American Dictionary of Baby Names" claims that Aina is of Scandinavian origin. This is EXACTLY what the book has to say on the name Aina:

"Scandinavian name meaning 'always, until the end'. Especially well known in Finland, but used occasionally in English-speaking countries. Ana may be a variant of this name, or of Anna."

I read the book's definition before I read this one and my familiarity with Finnish names makes it quite hard for me to believe Aina to be a Spanish name. [noted -ed]

I think there are more names that have parallel origins. But besides Finnish, Aina is not Spanish but Balearic or Catalan from the Balearic Islands as stated on the webpage. Spanish is as different to Catalan as for example to Italian. But I can assure you that it has a Catalan (or better Balearic) origin. [noted -ed]

Hashimoto Aina is a famous bearer of this name. She is a member of the all-female Japanese group, THE POSSIBLE.

Aina in Hawaiian also means "land".

Not super-common. I've only ever met 1 Aina and her kanji was 愛名, so it was love and name. All depends which kanji are chosen what it winds up meaning. Multiple possibilities.
