Andrina is a feminine given name of Slavic origin. It is derived from the Slavic element "andrij," which means "strong" or "manly." The name Andrina is often associated with strength, courage, and determination.
The earliest known use of the name Andrina dates back to the Middle Ages in Eastern Europe. However, it was not until the 19th century that the name began to gain popularity outside of its Slavic roots. In France, for example, Andrina was a popular choice among parents during the Belle Époque period.
Today, Andrina is still relatively uncommon but can be found in various countries around the world. It remains a strong and distinctive name with deep historical roots.
The name Andrina has seen a varied level of popularity over the years in the United States, with fluctuations in its usage as a baby girl's name. Between 1953 and 2023, there were a total of 707 births registered with the name Andrina.
The name first appeared on record in 1953 with seven births that year. It then experienced several peaks and valleys in its usage over the subsequent decades:
