Answer
Athinaa is the Arabic equivalent of Athens.
Instead of keeping names of this sort, one should keep names mentioned by Allah, Nabi (sallalahu Alaihi Wasallam), or names kept by the Sahabah and the general Muslims.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
