Zabrina

Meaning of Zabrina

Zabrina is a modernized variant of the ancient Celtic name Sabrina—once associated with the legendary nymph of the River Severn in British lore and celebrated in poetry—whose sleek initial “Z” imparts a contemporary twist (and spares her from alphabetical crowds). Across languages it adapts with ease: in Italian dzah-BREE-nah (/dzaˈbriːna/), in Spanish sah-BREE-nah (/saˈbri.na/), and in English commonly zuh-BREE-nuh (/zəˈbriːnə/). Though it remains relatively rare—hovering around the 950th rank in U.S. name charts with just over ten annual occurrences in recent years—Zabrina’s steady, low-frequency presence underscores its appeal to parents who value a balance of storied tradition and subtle individuality.
