History & Origin

Karinna is an ornamented spelling of Karina, a name at home across Europe as a form of Katherine ('pure') and often read through Latin cara, 'dear'. The doubled -n is a late-century styling touch.

It was always uncommon in the United States, peaking in the mid-nineteen-nineties and appearing only thinly since. It reads as a dressed-up variant rather than a distinct classic.
