Polina is a feminine name with Latin, Greek, and Russian origins. A variant of Paulina, this name translates to “little,” and makes for an adorable name for your little bundle of joy. If you want to pay homage to baby being a huge source of happiness in a small package, the name Polina makes for a wonderful choice. It also comes from the Greek name Apollinaris, which relates to the Greek god Apollo. In Greek mythology, Apollo represented so many things, from archery to music and dance, to the Sun itself. Since baby is going to enter the world as a blank slate with infinite possibilities, the connection to this eclectic god is a powerful choice.
