Hi! I'm a name freak who wants to know if anyone knows the meaning and/or country of origin of this name- ZORINA

I'm certain it's a girl's name and it might be Spanish or something, but I'm not sure.

I would love to find its meaning.

Zorina and Zora are both derived from the Russian "Zorya". The Zorya in Russian legend are aurora goddesses of sunrise, sunset and night. While the names Zora, Zorina, Zorya, etc. are frequently interpreted to mean "golden dawn", they actually refer to the appearance of the sky's aurora during either day or night.

Thanks!

Thanks Nanaea!

I've definately heard of the name Zora but not the others.

Thanks for the interesting background on the name too!
