Comments for GALINA:
Galini {ghalini} is a Greek word, used for 'serenity', for describing the weather good for fishing in the sea - calm, sunny with slight breeze; therefore the name Galina means also 'serenity' or 'great conditions for good harvest'.-- Anonymous User 2/27/2006
"Galina" is also the Italian word for "chicken", I believe.-- Fleur de Lys 9/24/2006
Yes, you're right. Galina means "chicken" in Italian and Latin.-- audreyhubley 11/1/2006
Heheh. It's also the same word "chicken" in Spanish.-- Anonymous User 7/17/2007

One of my best friends loves this name, and I think it's beautiful. But to be honest I thought she made it up.-- Anonymous User 3/22/2008
This doesn't sound like a name. The fact that it means "chicken" in various languages makes me think of chickens running around.-- bananarama 7/9/2009
Galina does not mean "chicken" in Spanish. Gallina is "hen" in Spanish. Different pronunciation. (gie-YEE-nah).-- earthnut 1/9/2010
I was under the impression that Galina was (or could be) another form of the name Helen. (Most commonly it is Yelena/Jelena - J pronounced as a Y. Russians don't use our alphabet, so there's not much of a canon spelling I think.)
Hamburg, for instance, is Γамбург ("GAHM boorg") - There is no real "H" equivalent in Russian, and usually proper names/words get their Hs replaced with Gs when directly transcribed into Russian.
Even if I am totally wrong, it is still a very pretty name - and it still has a nice meaning!-- my_name_isobel 7/19/2009
