History & Origin

Sebrina is a variant spelling of Sabrina. The name is the Latin form of Britain's longest river, the Severn; Geoffrey of Monmouth tells of Sabrina (Habren), a princess drowned in its waters and transformed into the river's spirit, a story John Milton retold in Comus. The 1954 film Sabrina carried the name into American use, and variant spellings such as Sebrina followed (said 'suh-BREE-nuh').

This spelling is very rare in the U.S. Rare, legendary, and lyrical.
