Meaning & History
English form of Habren, the original Welsh name of the longest river in Great Britain, which is of unknown meaning (perhaps "boundary"). Its use as a given name may be inspired by the name SABRINA, which was the Roman name of the river. A known bearer is Canadian environmentalist Severn Cullis-Suzuki (1979-).
