Shayna

Shayna is a feminine given name of Yiddish origin. It derives from the Yiddish word shayne, meaning “beautiful,” itself from the Hebrew root associated with beauty. The name is commonly spelled Shayna in English, with variants such as Shaina. It is used primarily among Jewish communities but has been adopted more broadly in English-speaking countries.

In the United States and other English-speaking countries, Shayna is used among Jewish families and, increasingly, by non-Jewish families.

Notable bearers include Shayna Baszler, an American professional wrestler and mixed martial artist; and Shayna Jack, an Australian competitive swimmer.
