Agripina is Latin in Origin.

Agripina is the form used in several Romance and Slavic languages of Latin Agrippina, the feminine of the Roman cognomen Agrippa. Its etymology is uncertain - likely pre‑Latin, possibly Etruscan - though Roman folk etymology linked it to aegre partus, “with difficulty born,” giving rise to the idea of a breech birth; most scholars regard that interpretation as secondary rather than original.

The name is borne by Agrippina the Elder and Agrippina the Younger, mother of Nero, and appears in art and opera, notably Handel’s Agrippina. Through the cult of the third‑century martyr Saint Agrippina, it entered Greek and Slavic calendars and persists in Russia, Romania, and the Balkans. Variants include Agrippina (Latin/Italian/English) and Agripina (Spanish, Portuguese, Romanian); diminutives include Pina and Grunya. The masculine counterpart is Agrippa. While uncommon today in the West, Agripina offers a regal, antique aura.
