Niña
The Niña, Portuguese (and Spanish) word for little girl, was one of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492.
The real name of the Niña was "Santa Clara". The Niña was probably a pun on the name of her owner, Juan Niño. She was a caravel-type vessel.
The other ships of the Columbus expedition were the Pinta and Santa Maria.
