The meaning of Hina isn't clear, but the official profile says the Hinanai clan served the Nai clan in their life, so hina could mean 'young chicken, small' (雛). So the literal meaning of her name is 'The child of heaven, from the calm family which bears authority'.īut there is another possible meaning. The characters in her name literally mean Hi or 'compare, comparative, rather', the former na is 'many, comfort, calm', the latter na 'name, authority', i 'be, live', and ten 'sky, heaven', and shi, which is a common ending for girl's names meaning 'child'.
