History & Origin

Contrina is best read as the prefix Con- joined to Trina, a pet form of Katrina and ultimately Katherine, from the Greek meaning associated with 'pure.'

It has never been common, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its peak in the late nineteen-seventies, and it has faded since. A girl named Contrina at that peak would be in her late forties today.

Did you know? Trina names, already a short form of Katherine by way of Katrina, attracted their own family of prefixed coinages in the twentieth century, and Contrina represents one such combination.
