It implies diminutive, like Concertina, which is a small Accordion, ( little concert) Tina may be a shortened form of Cristina ( the H is used sparingly in Italian) but also tends to mean, well Tiny. l968 Italian Film Festival Queen- Tina Scala- the name literally translates as small scale ( as in a scale model) or small ladder. Tina Scala is not related to Gia Scala, to my knowledge. Funny thing- Her rivals had names that suggested parts of a Bridge- Gia Scala ( ladder) Pier Angeli ( piers) and arguable, Natalie Wood ( who was not Italian) lit- Christmas Tree- the control panel, so-called from its red and green lights and buttons, etc. obviously this all relates to Gina Lollobrigida!
