Cafferinah is in Origin.
Cafferinah is a modern, elaborative feminine name, most plausibly built on the Catherine/Katerina family (ultimately from Greek katharos, "pure") with the lyrical -ina/-inah ending popular in contemporary coinages. Its sound pattern also echoes Seraphina and Sabrina, giving it a romantic, Latinate feel. Common pronunciations include KAF-eh-ree-nah and kah-feh-REE-nuh.
Documented historical use is scarce; Cafferinah appears chiefly in 21st-century baby-name discussions and social profiles, rather than traditional records. Variant spellings and near-forms include Cafferina, Caffarina, Cafferinia, Cafferenah, and Kafferinah, while related classics are Catherine, Katharina, Katerina, and Caterina. Possible nicknames are Caffi/Caffy, Rina, Fina, and Effie. Parents drawn to uncommon yet familiar-adjacent choices may appreciate Cafferinah’s mix of recognizable roots and distinctive flair, with the widely embraced meaning "pure" by association with Catherine.
Cafferinah does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
