Sabina
sah-BEE-nah
A Roman name tied to the Sabines, carrying a classic, ancient-world feel.
Meaning
Sabina is the feminine form of a Roman family name connected with the Sabines, an ancient Italian people. In the excerpts, it is also treated as a Latin name borne by several women in Roman history, including Poppaea Sabina and a Christian martyr. The name’s core sense is therefore ethnic/familial rather than descriptive: “Sabine woman” or “woman of the Sabine people.”
Origin
Latinfeminine
Fun fact
19th-century name books often linked Sabina with the famous Poppaea Sabina, Nero’s wife, whose luxury became proverbial.
