la -īna nouns :nom<g:f> -īnus<id:relational adjective><t:of or pertaining to> + For the nouns naming locations, perhaps compare the feminine gender of la taberna shop, store. Nouns in -īna with abstract senses, such as la medicīna practice of medicine f, can be interpreted as adjectives in agreement with a noun la ars art f that is omitted by ellipsis.Latin word-building Arnold, Thomas Kerchever 1855 Rivingtons, Waterloo Place London 32 https://books.google.com/books?id=eosCAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA32
Suffix

Used to form nouns describing places where a certain activity is carried out, or abstract nouns naming activities

la coquus cook coquīna kitchen; cookery -īna
la fodiō to dig fodīna mine -īna

Used to form nouns or names denoting female beings
la gallus gallīna rooster, cock hen -īna
la cloāca Cloācīna sewer goddess of the Cloaca Maxima -īna
Usage notes
Nouns in la -īna often show syncope of an internal syllable preceding the suffix, as in la doctor, la doctrīna; la figulus potter, la figlīna potter's workshop; la opifex craftsman, artisan, worker, la officīna workshop; and la discipulus, la disciplīna. Some have alternative forms without syncope, sometimes attested specifically in the context of Old Latin, such as la discipulīna and la opificīna (found in Plautus). Many nouns in la -īna are built on nouns that serve as the name of professions or occupations, including a number of formations in la -trīna from agent nouns in la -tor.

nb iːna 2
nb Ina
nb -i na
Etymology 1
A less common variant of nb -ine female name-forming suffix. The Norwegian name-forming pattern was transmitted through Danish from German and ultimately reflects nb la -īna feminine form of -īnus, the feminine of la -īnus of or pertaining to. Names in nb -ina formed part of the same naming fashion as the more widespread formations in nb -ine.
Compare da -ina and sv -ina female name-forming suffix.
Suffix
nb suffix
nb onomastics chiefly historical Used to form female given names, especially from male given names and, less commonly, from other female given names; a less common variant of nb -ine.
nb Hans -ina male given name female name-forming suffix → nb Hansina
nb Jens -ina male given name female name-forming suffix → nb Jensina
nb Nils -ina male given name female name-forming suffix → nb Nilsina
nb Guri -ina female given name female name-forming suffix → nb Gurina
Usage notes
Names formed with nb -ina belong to the same historical naming pattern as names in nb -ine, but the variant in nb -ina was considerably less common.
The pattern was especially associated with the practice of naming daughters after male relatives during the 19th century.
Not every female given name ending in the letters ⟨-ina⟩ was formed in Norwegian using this suffix. Names such as nb Kristina, nb Antonina and nb Albina may instead have been adopted as complete names or represent older independent formations.

Usage notes
When attached to stems ending in hard consonants, the suffix -ina triggers softening or palatalisation of the preceding consonant. Apart from regular softening (e.g., n → ň), the velar consonants undergo the following shifts:
k → č (e.g., sk buk → sk bučina); h or g → ž (e.g., sk druh → sk družina); ch → š (e.g., sk lopúch → sk lopušina).
