Serafina

Meaning of Serafina

Serafina twirls onto the birth certificate with the warm swirl of a Spanish sunset—her roots reach back to the biblical serafim, the “fiery” angels said to sing closest to the divine throne, and the name still burns with that golden glow today. In Italy she’s seh-rah-FEE-nah, all rolling r’s and lilting vowels; in Spanish-speaking circles she’s every bit as radiant, often shortened to the affectionate Fina. Saints (think the gentle Tuscan martyr Saint Fina), Renaissance masterpieces, and even storybook heroines have carried this shimmering banner, so a modern Serafina inherits a treasury of art, faith, and folklore right out of the gate. Parents who choose it often say they wanted something rare yet instantly musical—and the U.S. charts agree, keeping Serafina hovering just outside the spotlight, like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. If you’re hunting for a name that feels like a spark of celestial fire wrapped in Mediterranean charm, Serafina might just set your heart alight.
