Meaning & origin

Sabrine is a spelling variant of the more familiar Sabrina, first recorded in the United States in 1970. While Sabrina has enjoyed periods of notable popularity, Sabrine has remained a much rarer choice. Its peak year came in 1999, and its trajectory has been stable in the decades since. The name's unfamiliarity may appeal to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a classic, though its precise origins remain unclear. The lack of top states for Sabrine suggests it is spread thinly across the country without regional concentration.

Sabrine is a spelling variant of Sabrina, a name whose origins are disputed. One common theory links Sabrina to the River Severn in Britain, where the name of a legendary princess (from Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae) was adapted into English use in the 18th century. Another theory suggests a derivation from the Latin word 'sabrina' meaning 'boundary'. The variant Sabrine has been used since at least the 1970s in the United States, likely influenced by the French spelling or as a phonetic respelling.
