Meaning: Brings good news; God is gracious
Vanina is a beautiful name for girls. While in Spanish and Portuguese, it means “brings good news,” it can be seen as a variant of the Bulgarian name Ivan, which in turn comes from Hebrew, meaning “God is gracious.” Whether you see your little one as a miracle or as a harbinger of everything good or both, Vanina is an endearing choice.
