History & Origin
Sabrinia is an ornamented version of Sabrina, the Latinized name of the River Severn, long linked in myth to a drowned maiden of the same name. The added ending gives it a softer, more elaborate music, part of a broader habit of extending familiar girls' names into new shapes.
Sabrinia was always scarce, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint high point in the late nineteen-seventies. A girl named Sabrinia then is in her late forties today.
