What is the meaning of the name Sabrena ?

The baby name Sabrena is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /səˈbriːnə/ (suh-BREE-nuh).

Sabrena is Latin in Origin.

Sabrena is a modern feminine given name, a phonetic variant of Sabrina, the Latinized form of the Welsh river-name Hafren (also Habren), legendary nymph of the River Severn. The exact meaning is uncertain, often glossed as "from the Severn" or linked to a pre-Celtic root for river/boundary. Through Geoffrey of Monmouth and Milton’s Comus, Sabrina became a water-spirit figure, lending the name an association with grace, protection, and flowing beauty.

Sabrena appears mainly in English-speaking records from the mid-20th century, echoing the surge of Sabrina after the 1954 Audrey Hepburn film. Usage is rare compared to the base form, with pockets in the US and UK during the 1970s-1990s. Related variants include Sabrina, Sabrine (French), Sabrinna/Sabryna, and Sabreena; diminutives Brina, Bree, Rina, and Sabby. Note that Sabina is a distinct Roman name.
