Happy Columbus Day!

The official name of the Niña (one of the three ships of Christopher Columbus) was the Santa Clara. It was common for ships of the time to have both an official religious name and a nickname which sometimes was the feminine form of the owner's name. That was the case with the Santa Clara, whose owner was Juan Niño of Moguer. (the feminine form of his name is Niña)
