When I see the name pronounced /ˈdaɪ.nə/ (DIE-nuh), It sounds WAY too close to the word "Diner". I still think it's pretty, I just don't get THIS pronunciation.
Pretty name.

My name is Dina. The best thing about the name Dina is that it's very international. I was born half Russian/half Kazakh and in both of these cultures the name Dina exists. In Russian it's short for Diana, in Kazakh it's short for Dinara. Now I live in the UK, and this name is known here too. Since it's a Slavic, Scandinavian, Indian, Arab, Jewish, European, American name, it is international and free from prejudice. For example when my Middle Eastern landlord read my name on paper, she thought that I was Middle Eastern too and accepted me before she learned I wasn't, same with job interviews. People feel close to those similar to them, and since my name is so international, they assume that I am from the same place as them. It's an easy to say name too. Also, there are not so many Dinas in the world, I certainly haven't met someone other than me yet with that name. This is good news because it means that no one really had any bad previous experience with someone with that name. It's unique! I would recommend it for mixed race children like myself because I would not suit any traditional Russian name, my eyes give away my Mongolian roots. This sums up Dina for me.
Another pronunciation is Dee-Nuh.

My name is Dina. I get it from Bible. It is common name in Croatia. I love it, because it is short and there is no need for nickname.

My name is Dina. I really like this name even if some people say I spell it wrong and I'm suppose to spell it Dena. It's a short and unique name. I'm arab and lots of Arabs have this name as well so this name doesn't have to be a Hebrew name only- it can be many language names. From all the sites I've checked they all said that the name means judged but others here have different thoughts so I really don't know what the actual meaning of my name is. Also, in Arabic it is written like this: دينا.
Why must the English language butcher every Biblical Hebrew name with its Anglicized long vowels? DEE-na sounds MUCH better than DIE-na.

I've always heard it pronounced Dee-na, not Die-na. I prefer it pronounced the first way too.
I find it bland, boring, and unimaginative, but it's not a horrible name. ''DEE-na'' sounds better, as ''DIE-na'' brings dinosaurs to mind.

I grew up with a girl with this name, and we all always pronounced her name "DEE-na", not "DIE-na". I know because when I was little I used to confuse her with another girl named Diana, and it would've taken me a lot longer to distinguish the two if their names sounded the same!
It's pronounced "DEE-nah"; I don't like the pronunciation "DIE-na" - it sounds risqué.
I like Dina more than Diana. Simple but still pretty name, even if it reminds me about that Swedish word "yours".

My friend's name is Dina, and personally I love the name. She has a twin sister named Mina, and in Swedish Dina and Mina means "yours" and "mine". Well, their parents didn't know that when they moved to Sweden from Turkey, so... But I still think both of the names are beautiful. =)
