Sebrina
Sebrina Origin and Meaning
Sebrina is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Sabrina, which has Latinized Celtic origins. The name is believed to derive from the River Severn in Wales, originally called 'Habren' in Welsh mythology. According to legend, a princess named Habren drowned in the river, giving it her name. Sebrina emerged as an alternative spelling that gained modest popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. The variant spelling with 'e' instead of 'a' gives the name a slightly more distinctive appearance while maintaining the melodic quality of the original. Though less common than Sabrina, Sebrina carries the same lyrical sound and mythological connections, appealing to parents seeking a recognizable yet somewhat unique name.
