My mom was pulling for the name Katrina, but my dad said it sounded too similar to the noise he makes when he sneezes. They settled on "Trina" instead. =)

My name is Trina, though my grandmother was adamant in using the spelling 'Trena'. Both would be pronounced as "TREE-nah". I always used the definition of the name that came from Katrina = "Purity", but I've seen a Hindu definition of it that means "Piercing Grass".

Trina (also variantly spelled as Triena) is also used in Dutch and Limburgish, where it is a short form of Catharina and Katharina. It is pronounced as 'TREE-nah' in both languages.

- see page 2 of "Limburgse Veurname", a PDF-file containing Limburgish names, which is located at http://www.veldeke.net/1032667881.htm (in Limburgish)
It has always been a rare name officially (as short names and nicknames have traditionally rarely been registered as official names in the Netherlands; people have always registered their children by their full names), but not at all informally, at least for people born before the 1970s. After that, the name Catharina decreased in popularity (as did Katharina) and so did its short form Trina. As a result, Trina is now considered a rather old-fashioned name. (Young) Dutch women named Catharina or Katharina today will go by a different and more fashionable short form of the name, such as Cato and Keet.

This is an occasional nick-name for me as my given name is Catriona and I used to hate it when some people called me Trina but now I really love it and wish people called me it more often as this is such a good name! (for nick-name purposes) If this was used for a given name it would seem odd. But nice.
