Sabina

Sabina is a name traditionally given to girls and is of Latin origin. The meaning of Sabina is ‘a woman from the Sabine tribe’. The Sabines were a tribe that inhabited the Apennine regions before the colonizing of Rome by the Latins. The foundations of Rome can be traced to the Sabines and the Latins. A region in Reita, Italy is also named Sabine today. Sabina may also have been derived from the Russian name Czarina, which became Sarina, and then Sabrina, and eventually Sabina. Prominent people named Sabina include the Roma Saint Sabina, and the Italian actress and satirist Sabina Guzanti. Sabina may also have Hebrew origins meaning ‘wisdom’. Sabina has used as a character name in the play ‘The Skin Of Our Teeth’ by Thornton Wilder, and in ‘The Unbearable Lightness Of Being’, the Milan Kundera novel, and the movie.
