History & Origin

Sereena is a respelling of Serena, which comes straight from the Latin serenus, 'clear, calm, serene.' The doubled e is a purely cosmetic flourish placing it among the invented spellings American parents favored in the late twentieth century.

It was always rare, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 1996, while Serena itself was far better known. A girl named Sereena then is in her twenties today.

Did you know? Sereena rides the same soft, serene sound as Serena but marks itself out with the extra e, a typical nineteen-nineties way of freshening a familiar name.
