Sandrina is in Origin.
Sandrina is a Romance diminutive of Sandra, itself the short form of Alessandra/Alexandra, ultimately from the Greek Alexandros (“to defend” + “man”). It carries the meaning “defender of humankind,” with the -ina suffix lending an affectionate, graceful tone in Italian and Portuguese naming traditions.
Records show the name in 18th‑century Italy - famously the heroine Sandrina in Mozart’s 1775 opera La finta giardiniera - and it has continued in intermittent use, particularly in Italy and Portugal, where diminutives are often bestowed as formal names. The 20th‑century surge of Sandra across Europe and Latin America buoyed Sandrina as a rarer, more ornate alternative. Related forms and variants include Alessandrina and Alexandrina, as well as Sandra and the French Sandrine; broader cognates are Alessandra and Alexandra. Common short forms include Sandy, Rina, and Dina.
