History & Origin
The parent name Sabrina is the Latinized form of the Celtic Habren, the River Severn, personified in British myth as a drowned princess turned river goddess. Sabreena simply respells it phonetically, a common 1980s and 90s way to make a name look softer.
The spelling shows up in American records from the late nineteen-sixties into the twenty-tens, with its high point in the mid-nineties when Sabrina names were fashionable. It has faded since, reading as a nineties variant more than a classic.
