Rasheena is a modern American invention, likely created by blending the Arabic name Rasha, meaning 'young gazelle', with the Scottish-origin name Sheena, meaning 'God is gracious'. It emerged in the late 20th century as part of a trend of creating unique, rhythmic names within African American communities.
