History & Origin

Satina is an invented name suggesting the fabric 'satin' and echoing Tina, from Christina and Martina. Word-names drawn from luxury and texture had a quiet vogue in the mid-twentieth century, and Satina belongs to that soft, decorative vein of American naming.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak around 1974. A woman named Satina then is in her early fifties today, one of a small group carrying this silky coinage.

Did you know? If Satina takes after the fabric satin, it carries a well-travelled word - satin reached English from a medieval Chinese port name by way of Arabic and Latin.
