[Facts] Almina - origin, pronunciation, & meaning?
It's not in the data base but I've come across it as a name for girls in Victorian England. I'm wondering whether the alm- bit is pronounced like almond or like al- in Alma.
It's not a name I particularly like, but I'm curious about its orgin and meaning."The practice of romantic names has become a very general evil ... many unfortunate beauties, of the names of Clarissa and Eloisa, might have escaped under the less dangerous ... Elizabeth or Deborah" - Isaac D’Israeli
