History & Origin

Tarina is a made name of the later twentieth century. The likeliest reading dresses Tara — Irish for 'hill', the royal seat of ancient Ireland — with the flowing -ina ending, though it may equally echo Katrina or Sabrina.

It was never common, cresting around 1974 and fading by the two-thousands. It reads as a period coinage most at home among Tara, Katrina and Sabrina, and it has stayed rare.

Did you know? Tarina reads as a lengthened Tara — the famous royal hill of Ireland — or an echo of Katrina, a sound-coinage rather than a handed-down name.
