Wise, intelligent, or a little goose
Kyna is an anglicized form of the Irish name Cadhla or Caoine, often interpreted as meaning wise or intelligent. In some etymological contexts, it is also considered a feminine diminutive related to the word for a wild goose. It represents a rare, lyrical choice with deep Gaelic roots.
