Junaina meaning
Junaina (جنینہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin.
A little garden, 'as though a little Paradise' (diminutive of janna)
Also used to mean: garden of paradise
Junaina (جنینہ) is Arabic junayna, the diminutive of janna, "garden" or "Paradise", from the root j-n-n, "to cover". Lane's lexicon notes that junayna, often pronounced jinayna, was used for an ordinary garden, "as though it were a little Paradise"; it is still an everyday word for a garden in Egyptian Arabic. Name lists give Junaina as "little garden" or "garden of paradise", which matches the dictionary closely. It is used by Muslim families in India and is related to the name Jannat.
