What is the meaning of the name Karyna ?

The baby name Karyna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced kah-REE-nah (IPA: /kɑˈriːnə/ or /kəˈriːnə/).

Karyna is Slavic in Origin.

Karyna is an East Slavic spelling of Karina, especially Belarusian (Карына), and is also encountered in Ukrainian and Polish contexts. Its etymology is layered: in many European languages Karina/Karina began as a pet form of Katherine/Katarina (ultimately from Greek Aikaterine, popularly interpreted as “pure”). In Romance areas it also overlaps with Carina, influenced by Italian/Spanish cara/carina, “dear, beloved,” while some note the Latin carina “keel,” though this is a less likely source for the given name.

Adopted widely across the former Soviet sphere in the 20th century, Karyna has a modern, cosmopolitan profile and remains familiar without being ubiquitous. Variants and cognates include Karina, Carina, Karine/Carine, Karin, Kareena, and the longer forms Katarina/Ekaterina. Diminutives and short forms include Rina, Ryna, and Kara. Spellings vary by script and locale: Karyna (Belarusian/Polish), Karina (Russian/Ukrainian), and Каріна/Карина in Cyrillic.
