I am Elina and I am from Bulgaria. The name is not common in Bulgaria, but most people really like it. The pronunciation is Elina - the stress is on i. My family and friends call me Ellie.
It's not too common. It's just a name. Not amazing or beautiful, but alright.
Not good, not bad, just boring.
Elina Born is an Estonian singer who is best known for representing Estonia in Eurovision 2015. She's become one of my fave singers from then!
I think Elina is a very pretty name! And is very uncommon here in Brazil.
I really love most of the Helen related names. Elin is my huge favourite, but I guess Elina is even better because it's more feminine, kind of more gentle, and also more multicultural, since it occurs in Sweden, Finland, Latvia, Estonia, a lot of Slavic countries, and could be very usable in the English-speaking ones as well though I guess there could be a lot of spellings possible so that could be either an upside or a downside. I think it ages very well but at the same time fits a child and a teen well too and has a lot of sweetness to it while not being frilly or bland or overly delicate. It could fit someone strong but also a very sensitive person.
Elina is a Swedish pop singer/songwriter, also writing songs for other artists, she's based in Stockholm.
The standard Polish form of this name is Helena, and it's very popular for babies right now (#21 last year), but Elina was also used here.

In July 2017, there were 231 women named Elina in the whole Polish population.
Also used in Russian (Элина).
My best friend is originally Jewish, she lives in Israel. Her name is Elina and I really enjoy it! Elina is very smart, intelligent and noble, she always has the right things to say. Also I like that it is "between" two popular names in Israel – Elena and Alina. It makes it unique but pretty.

To me, Elina is a boring, plain name. I've known many Elinas and they all have been either plain or mean, which is why I don't like this name one bit.

My name is Elina. The Finnish way to pronounce it is somehow hard to understand I guess (because no one foreign I know has done it yet), but anyway here it comes: All the vowels are short, the pressure is strongly on E in the beginning. The I is like I in the English word ill. Can you manage it? :) It's a really common name in Finland.
Did you know that Elina is actually also an Indian name? The meaning there is "smart" or "intelligent". Really cool I think.
