Sarena is Latin in Origin.

Sarena is a modern feminine given name that blends two etymological streams. As a spelling variant of Serena, it goes back to Latin serenus, “clear, tranquil,” a virtue name found in late Roman and early Christian circles and later favored in Renaissance and early modern English usage (notably borne by the noblewoman Saint Serena of Rome). In Jewish and Eastern European contexts, Sarena can also reflect Sarina, a pet form of Hebrew Sarah, yielding the meaning “princess.”

The form gained visibility in Anglophone records in the mid-20th century and has since appeared sporadically in the United States, Canada, and the UK as a distinctive alternative to the more common Serena or Sarina. Related variants include Serena, Serina, Sarina, and Serenah; diminutives and nicknames include Sera, Seri, Rena, and Sari. The name’s connotations - either serene calm or regal lineage - make Sarena a versatile choice with cross-cultural resonance.
