Caryna is in Origin.

Caryna is a modern, seldom-seen spelling of Carina/Karina, typically pronounced kah-REE-nah or kuh-REE-nuh. The inserted y is a contemporary flourish found in English-speaking contexts and sometimes reflecting Slavic transliterations. One widely accepted root traces to Latin carus, "dear" or "beloved," which in Italian and Spanish formed the affectionate adjective carina ("dear, sweet"). This lineage also evokes the southern-sky constellation Carina, lending the name a quiet celestial note.

A parallel pathway runs through the Slavic diminutive Karina of Katarina/Katherine, ultimately from Greek katharos, "pure." Depending on which origin you prefer, Caryna carries the meanings "beloved" or "pure." Related forms include Carina, Karina, Carine, Karine, Karin, Karyna, Kareena, and Careena; nicknames span Cari, Kari, and Rina. International use expanded in the mid-to-late 20th century, especially for Karina, while Caryna itself has stayed rare, offering a familiar sound with distinctive spelling.
