Caferina is Latin, Spanish in Origin.
Caferina is a rare feminine given name most plausibly a regional or creative variant of Ceferina/Zeferina, the feminine counterpart to Ceferino/Zeferino, from Latin Zephyrinus (Greek Zephyros), “the west wind; a gentle breeze.” Phonetic variation between C/Z/S is common across Iberian and Latin American orthographies, which explains spellings like Ceferina, Seferina, Zeferina, and the less common Caferina. Related forms include French Zephyrine/Zephirine; diminutives Fina and Rina; and masculine Ceferino, Zeferino, and Zephyrinus.
Usage clusters in Catholic naming traditions from the 18th–20th centuries, particularly in Spain, Portugal, the Philippines, and parts of Latin America, often honoring Pope Saint Zephyrinus or invoking the pleasant imagery of the west wind. Today the name is uncommon and feels vintage, yet its breezy meaning and familiar -rina ending make it approachable. Note: despite appearance, it is unrelated to café or coffee.
