Aladina

Aladina is primarily a feminine given name used in Italian-speaking communities. It is often regarded as a diminutive or affectionate form of Aladino, the Italian version of Aladdin, with the feminine suffix -ina forming a standalone name. The form has appeared in literature and contemporary naming, though it remains relatively uncommon.

Beyond personal names, Aladina is also associated with philanthropic and cultural entities. The most widely recognized is Aladina Onlus, an Italian nonprofit organization that supports children with cancer and their families. Through activities in hospitals and partnerships with medical centers, it funds psychosocial services, organizes recreational and educational programs, and assists with lodging for families during treatment. The organization emphasizes hospital play and family-centered care as part of its mission to improve the quality of life for pediatric patients and their relatives.

The name is also used by other groups and initiatives in Italy and Spanish-speaking regions, including small charities, cultural projects, and commercial ventures. Because Aladina appears in diverse contexts, there is no single, universally defining meaning beyond its role as a personal name and as a label used by various organizations.
