MEANING & HISTORY
What does Aina mean?
Aina has independent documented histories. The Finnish route is a variant of Aino, the only one; the Finnish word aina also means always.
A Balearic route is Anna, while Japanese 愛菜 can combine love and greens. These are separate formations, so no one gloss applies universally to the spelling.
