Through Karina it also connects to the Katherine family, ultimately from Greek katharos, "pure." Some parents read it as a blend of Cary and Nina, enhancing its gentle, lyrical profile.

Related forms and near-variants include Carina, Karina, Caryna, Carinah, Karyna, Karinah, and Korina, with nicknames Cari, Cary, Rina, and Nina.
