Nina Jaffe: Hello. My name is Nina Jaffe. All my grandparents spoke Russian, and Nina is a Russian name. That was a connection my parents wanted to honor by giving me the name Nina. My last name, Jaffe, comes from the Lithuanian Jewish heritage of my grandfather. In Hebrew, it means nice or beautiful.

Hola. Mi nombre es Nina Jaffe. Me gusta mi nombre Nina porque es fácil de decir, y también, tiene conexión con las raízes de mis abuelos. Jaffe es un apellido que en hebreo quiere decir lindo.

As you can see, I like to speak different languages. So it's lucky for me that Nina is such an easy name to pronounce. Sometimes, people have trouble with Jaffe. So if you're not used to it, you can always use the Hebrew pronunciation and say Jaffe.
