The saint behind the name
Nina
January 14, Holy Woman, Νίνα
St. Nina, Equal-to-the-Apostles, was a young woman of Cappadocia who in the fourth century brought the Gospel to the land of Georgia. Traveling there alone, she lived in simplicity and prayer, carrying a cross woven of vine branches, and through her preaching and her healings the king and queen came to believe, and the whole nation received holy baptism.
