Sabrina
“Latinized name of British river Severn; goddess of that river”
Sabrina rises from British legend as the goddess of the River Severn, a name the Romans Latinized and John Milton later borrowed for his 1634 masque Comus. Three silken syllables, sa-BREE-na, with a gentle lift in the middle. Audrey Hepburn wore it in the 1954 film Sabrina, giving the name a black-dress sophistication, and the 1990s teenage-witch sitcom added a sparkle of mischief. It peaked on American charts in the 90s and has softened since, which lends it fresh appeal now. Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has recently returned it to the spotlight. The name feels clever, charming, and a little magical. Sabrina suits a girl with a quick wit.
