the deeper mystery behind the name
although the name iz associated w/the severn river...and Milton'z worx...the name iz neither Celtic nor Italian in origin...sabrina iz a word from the middle east...however, the tribal origin of the word remainz a mystery...most likely due 2 vague/mysterious originz of mesopotamia and dead lingo such az ugarit...research iz left 2 b done...howeVr...the world haz retain-d the history b-hind the name prior 2 any gentile influence...complementz of the worldz eastern parentz...interestingly enough, the hebrewz have laid claim to it but at the same time the arabic language also haz a stake...sabrina: hebrew origin
the name iz actually derived from the root word "SABRA"...which meanz "fierce warrior"
sabrina: arabic origin
in arabic the quick term for sabrina meanz "PATIENCE"...but literally it meanz "EVERYBODY MUST WAIT"...
...this research waz conducted from 1987-1998...
...special thanx to Yale-n-Harvard graduate: Mr. Scoggins 4 contributing the Hebrew meaning of this name...

Sabr is a Muslim male name used in India that derives from the Arabic word for "patience", according to The Complete Book of Muslim & Parsi Names by Maneka Gandhi & Osair Husain.However, as far as I know there is no evidence that the name Sabrina as used in modern English-speaking countries has any connection with either Sabr or the modern Israeli word and name Sabra. Just because two names resemble one another, that does not mean that they have the same historical origin.

How do you get "fierce warrior" out of Sabra in Hebrew? A "sabra" is someone born in Israel in Hebrew.

There used to be a brand of nylon tights called Sabra - made in Israel and very good quality. There was also a liqueur, also Israeli and also called Sabra, which was chocolate-and-orange and very good for adding to puddings ... not a drink for a fierce warrior, though.
