Alasttrina is in Origin.

Alasttrina is a modern Gaelic‑rooted feminine given name, an embellished spelling of Alastrina/Alastríona. These forms arise in Irish from Alastar (the Irish equivalent of Scottish Gaelic Alasdair/English Alastair), ultimately from Alexander. As with Alexandra, the underlying Greek components alexein “to defend” + anēr/andros “man, person” give the meaning “defender of mankind” or “protector of people.”

Usage is very rare and largely contemporary, appearing in late 20th–21st‑century records where creative orthography adds the double t. It resonates with Irish and Scottish heritage while offering the elegant -ina ending. Variant spellings and close forms include Alastrina, Alastriona/Alastríona, Alastina, and the more familiar Alexandra and Alessandra; related masculine counterparts are Alastair, Alasdair, and Alastar. Possible diminutives are Ali, Allie, Trina, or Lina. The name carries a classic protective meaning with a distinctive modern twist.
