History & Origin

Cerina is a modern c-spelling of Serena, which comes from the Latin adjective serenus, 'clear, calm, untroubled.' The word described fair weather before it described a peaceful nature, and Serena has been in Christian use since late antiquity. The c-spelling is modern and may also nod to Ceri or Cerise, so routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'suh-REE-nuh').

It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, calm, and soft.
