Shaina (שיינה) is a Yiddish word, meaning 'pretty'. It is related to the German word "Schön". It's mainly used within the Orthodox community, but you do find it in non-Orthodox communities as well. Other Jewish communities will use the Hebrew equivalent Yaffa (יפה) or Yafit (יפית) when naming their daughter after a 'Shaina'
