Re: Greek derivation of CARINA/KARINA?
I've spent years looking for meanings and have never found this one, Andy :)
The most common meanings I have found are Karina (Ka-REE-nah) as a form of Katherine, meaning pure, or Carina (ka-REEN-ah) (sometimes changed to Karina in Australia and America), as a derivative of the Italian expression "Che carina!" meaning "how cute!" or "how darling!"
Hope this helps!
