History & Origin

Sabrinna respells Sabrina, the Roman name for the River Severn and the drowned nymph of British legend later celebrated by Milton. The doubled n is late-century styling; it stayed rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1996, without ever becoming common.

A girl named Sabrinna from the mid-nineties is a young adult today. It reflects a family personalizing the well-loved Sabrina rather than reviving anything, and the standard single-n spelling remains far more common.

Did you know? Sabrina was the Latin name of the River Severn, and Milton retold the tale of the nymph Sabrina in his masque Comus, giving the name a watery, poetic pedigree.
