Bit-na (pronounced and sometimes romanised Bin-na) is a Korean feminine given name. Unlike most Korean given names, it is not composed of Sino-Korean morphemes which can be written with hanja, but is an indigenous Korean word: the root form of the Korean verb binnada (빛나다), meaning "to shine".{{cite encyclopedia|url=http://krdic.naver.com/detail.nhn?docid=18739500|title=빛나다|encyclopedia=Naver Korean Dictionary|accessdate=2014-06-27}}
