Meaning & origin
Patrina is a rare feminine name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1915, though it has never been widely used. Its peak came in 1973, when it was given to a small number of newborn girls, and its usage has since stabilized at very low levels. The name's formation suggests a blend of the classic Patricia and Katrina, reflecting a broader 20th-century trend of creating melodic feminine names through combination. While precise etymological origins remain uncertain, its components carry associations of nobility and purity. The name has no strong regional ties in the U.S. and remains an uncommon but recognizable choice.
Patrina is a modern coinage, first recorded in the United States in 1915. It likely arose as a combination or diminutive of Patricia and Katrina, both names with Latin roots. Patricia derives from the Latin patricius, meaning 'noble' or 'of the patrician class', while Katrina is a variant of Katherine. The name saw its peak popularity in 1973 but has never been widely used.
