Sandrina is a feminine given name of Italian origin, derived from the Latin word 'sandrus', meaning 'sandy'. It is also considered a variant of the name Candrina, which has the same etymology. The name Sandrina was popularized in Italy by the 15th-century Italian poet Luigi Pulci, who included a character named Sandrino in his epic poem "Morgante". Today, Sandrina remains a charming and unique choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet elegant name for their daughter.
Sandrina was a popular name between the late 1960s and mid-1990s, with peaks in the mid to late 1970s and early 1980s, but it hasn't been as common in recent years.
