Pointina

Pointina is a term used as a proper noun in several different contexts, but it does not denote a single widely recognized concept. In fiction, Pointina is occasionally employed as the name of a small town or locality within imagined worlds. The varying settings across works mean there is no single canonical Pointina; readers must consult the respective narrative to understand its geography and role.

In educational and design materials, Pointina is often used as a neutral placeholder name to illustrate labeling, naming conventions, or hypothetical scenarios. This use mirrors similar placeholders such as Exampleville or Sampletown, with Pointina chosen for its concise, non-specific sound.

Linguistic notes: Pointina appears to be a constructed toponym combining the word point with a common diminutive suffix. There is no widely attested etymology or origin for the term.
