I'm the one who originally uploaded this name, as Messina is my first name. I wouldn't say that it's "modern" as it is listed in this entry, presumably by the site admins. I was named for a distant ancestor. Like probably 1800s or earlier--I'm not sure exactly. I also have some question about whether it is English, as the entry says. I'm told that my ancestry is Scottish, Scots-Irish, English and French. So presumably the name could be any of those.
