Meaning & origin
Surina is a name of uncertain origin, possibly rooted in Sanskrit meaning 'hero' or 'strong', or connected to Hindi words for 'beautiful' or 'graceful'. It first appeared on the U.S. baby name charts in 1968, but remained relatively rare for decades. Its popularity peaked in 2013, and since 2022 it has been on the rise. As of 2025, it ranks 13,208, with approximately 1 in every 267,878 newborn girls receiving the name. Though it has not yet charted in any top states, its gentle sound and multicultural appeal make it a distinctive choice. Surina is almost exclusively given to girls, and it has also seen occasional use in modern English naming contexts, sometimes as a variant of Suri or Serena.
Surina likely derives from the Sanskrit root 'sura' meaning 'hero' or 'strong'. It may also be connected to the Hindi word 'suri' for 'beautiful' or 'graceful', or a variant of the name Surya. The name has gained modern usage in English-speaking countries as a feminine given name, possibly influenced by the names Serena or Sabrina.
