A common claim: love, name (Japanese) Actually: Aina is not one name with a single fixed meaning; the 'love, name' gloss applies only to its separate Japanese usage. Its better-documented Finnish origin (a variant of Aino) means 'the only one,' and it also has unrelated Latvian ('view/sight') and Yoruba (a nuchal-cord birth name, unrelated to love) meanings.
