What is the meaning of the name Stavrina ?

Stavrina is Greek in Origin.

Stavrina is a Greek feminine given name derived from staurós/stavrós, the classical and Medieval Greek word for “cross.” It functions as a regional or colloquial variant of the better-known Stavroula and is related to forms such as Stavriana, all ultimately honoring the Christian Cross. The name thus carries meanings like “of the Cross” and is traditionally linked to the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (14 September) in the Greek Orthodox calendar.

Use of Stavrina is attested in Greece and the wider Balkans, especially among Greek- and Orthodox-influenced communities, though it remains less common than Stavroula. Diminutives and short forms include Rina, Stavri, and Voula (by association with Stavroula). Cognate or parallel forms include Stavroula, Stavriana/Stavriani, and the masculine Stavros. Its blend of devotional heritage and a lilting -ina ending gives it a familiar yet distinctive profile.
