Erlina is an uncommon first name for women in the United States, very popular in Southeast Asians. Means "noblewoman, princess, warrior, countess, Celtic girl, girl from Ireland." There are shorts by Ralph Lauren named Erlina. Commonly mispronounced as "ErlinDa, ArelinDa," even though there is CLEARLY no D in it. Girls named Erlina are tough, assertive, kick-butt women... maybe because they are accustomed to people mispronouncing and making fun of their names all their lives.
