feminine · German origin
Sarina is a feminine given name that arose as an elaborated form of Sara, itself derived from the Hebrew root meaning princess or noblewoman. The extended form, adding the suffix -ina, became particularly popular in German and Dutch-speaking regions as a way of creating a softer or more ornate variant of the biblical name. It functions as a diminutive or pet form in those traditions, similar to the way other European languages produced expanded versions of the same root name. Related forms include Sara, Sarah, and Serena, as well as the cognate elaboration Sarena.
