Hi !!!
I've knoen this meaning since I was a child (I started being interested in names already at elementary school) .
Italian books and websites stress this origin (that is official because names can have more than one origin).
Infact when firstly I checked in into BTN I was very surprised that this origin was not in the description and instead it was said that river Severn was its root.
I've never heard about the link between Severn and Sabrina so I still think that its origin is Semitic.
Semitic because there is a third origin: the Arabic root S B R which is the root of 'patience, patient'. Infact also in Hebrew the cactus fruit is called sabre because it can grows in a hard environment (the desert) and thus is the reason because it has the same root of patience.
