Dinah is a common name for feminine. It is of Hebrew origin, and its popularity derives from Dinah, a figure who was the seventh child and only daughter of Leah and Jacob. In ancient times, names held significant meaning, often reflecting the cultural and religious beliefs of a community. Dina, therefore, represented the belief that one's fate and justice were determined by a higher power. Dinah is a Hebrew female given name meaning judged or vindicated.

The given name Dinah is characteristic of Egypt, where it is a common girls name, Kazakhstan, and Bulgaria, where it is quite a common female name. It most frequently occurs in Egypt, Indonesia, and India.
