[Facts] Serafina and Sarafina
I'm a bit confused regarding the connection of Serafina and Sarafina.
The submitted name Sarafina (1) states, though the names look similar, they "clearly have completely different etymologies."
The submitted name Sarafina (2) states, it's a croatian version of Serafina.
Both submitted names are fully verified.
Does anybody have further information on this?
Are those just two different names that have the same spelling, like Noah (1) and Noah (2)?

Yes, they are different names that happen to have the same spelling. While Sarafina(2) is a form of Seraphina, Sarafina(1) has no connection to it, as it derives from a Swahili word.
