Judged or vindicated
Dinah is a Hebrew name meaning 'judged' or 'vindicated.' In the Old Testament, she was the daughter of Jacob and Leah, whose story is one of the more somber narratives in Genesis. The name saw a peak in popularity during the mid-20th century but remains a rare, vintage choice today.
