History & Origin

Carrina is a spelling variant of Carina and Karina, names built on the Latin word carus, meaning dear or beloved. The extra r is a modern touch that does not change the gentle sound.

Carrina turned up in United States records mainly from the early nineteen-seventies onward, reaching its small peak around 1995 when it was given to only about twenty girls a year, and it never rose beyond that. A girl named Carrina at that peak would be about thirty today.

Did you know? Carina is also the name of a bright southern constellation, the keel of the ancient ship Argo, which lends the name a starry association.
