Origin
The name Sabrina is thought to have originated from the Celtic goddess Sabrina, who was the personification of the River Severn in England. The name is first recorded in the 1st century by the Roman writer, Pliny the Elder, in his Natural History.
Pliny the Elder wrote that the Severn was "called by the Britons Sabrina, after the name of the nymph who is said to have drowned in it". This suggests that the name Sabrina was already well-established in Celtic Britain by the time of the Roman conquest.
The name Sabrina is still popular in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is also used in other countries, such as the United States and Canada.
