Sabena Origin and Meaning

The name Sabena is a girl's name.

Sabena is a feminine name with multiple potential origins. It may derive from the Sabine people of ancient Italy, be a variant of Sabina (meaning 'Sabine woman'), or connect to Hebrew 'savta' meaning 'grandmother.' In some contexts, it's associated with wisdom and understanding. The name gained some recognition through the former Belgian national airline named Sabena, though this connection has faded over time. With its flowing three-syllable pattern and familiar yet uncommon quality, Sabena offers a melodic choice that sounds both classic and distinctive. The name carries an elegant, somewhat exotic flair while remaining straightforward to pronounce in multiple languages.
