Meaning & origin

The name Sabrinia first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1966, a variant of the more familiar Sabrina. It achieved its peak in 1977, though even then it was never a common choice. Over the decades, its usage has remained stable but scarce. The spelling variation Sabrinia adds a distinct twist to the classic Sabrina, which itself draws from the ancient Latin name for the River Severn. Despite its rarity, Sabrinia carries the same mythological weight as its parent name, tied to the legend of a Celtic princess. For parents seeking a name that is both recognizable and uncommon, Sabrinia offers a subtle alternative.

Sabrinia is a variant spelling of Sabrina, a name likely derived from the Latin name for the River Severn (Sabrina). In British legend, Sabrina was a princess drowned in the river. The name gained popularity after the 1954 film 'Sabrina' and saw modest use in the late 20th century.
