History & Origin
Cartina reads as a coinage on the Katrina pattern — Katrina itself from Katharine, traditionally 'pure' — reshaped with a 'Car-' beginning. Its appeal is in the sound rather than a dictionary meaning, and it kept its own faint tradition.
It appears only in tiny numbers, a bare handful around its 1972 blip rather than any real cohort, and we flag it as a thin record entry. We treat it honestly as an of-its-era invention.
