History & Origin

Larina looks like a lengthened form of Lara or Larissa, from the Greek city Larissa, or a reworking of Lorena. It appeared for American girls only faintly, around 1974.

It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at most, and it had thinned by the twenty-tens. A girl named Larina then would be in her early fifties today. Soft and flowing, it fits with modern -ina names but has not yet had a true revival.

Did you know? Larina echoes Larissa, the ancient Greek city name behind Lara, and also serves as a Russian surname made famous by Pushkins Tatyana Larina.
