Attina

Attina is a proper noun that is best known as the name of a fictional character in Disney's The Little Mermaid franchise. In the Atlantican royal family, Attina is described as the eldest daughter of King Triton and the elder sister to six younger princesses, forming part of the group commonly listed as Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella, Alana, and Oriana. The character appears as part of the world-building surrounding Atlantica and the royal family, particularly in the 1989 animated feature and related media.

In the broader context, Attina is also encountered as a given name or surname on rare occasions. Its linguistic origins are not widely documented, and outside of media contexts it remains relatively uncommon. When used, it tends to carry associations with the Disney character or with fictional, fantastical naming rather than a well-established cultural or historical usage.

Overall, Attina is primarily recognized as the eldest princess in The Little Mermaid canon, with occasional real-world use as a personal name. Its prominence in popular culture is largely tied to the animated film and its extended universe, rather than to a broad tradition of usage or a widely attested etymology.
