Sarina

The name Sarina is also in use in the Netherlands, and it has been since at least the year 1882. The Dutch name database called "Corpus of First Names in The Netherlands" (http://www.meertens.knaw.nl/nvb/english) lists the name as being derived from the name Sara, but given the fact that by 1882 the Dutch were already long familiar with combining names, it cannot be ruled out that in at least some cases, the name Sarina is a combination of Sara with any feminine name ending in -ina, such as Hendrina, Martina and Wilhelmina.

Right now, the best known Dutch bearer of this name is probably Sarina Wiegman (b. 1969), a former professional soccer player who recently became head coach of the Dutch national women's soccer team.

Last but certainly not least, the name is pronounced as sah-REE-nah in Dutch.
