Where this word comes from
A spelling variant of Karina, a newer form of Katrina, ultimately from Ancient Greek Αἰκατερίνη (Aikaterínē, “female given name”). The original meaning is uncertain, though the name was early associated with καθαρός (katharós, “pure”). Alternatively, Carina may derive from the Latin name Cara, from the feminine form cara (“dear, beloved”) of carus (“dear, beloved”). Compare Danish Carina and Swedish Carina (“female given name”).
