Karina (/kəˈriːnə/) is a female given name. In modern times, the country where it is most used (in absolute terms) is Russia, whereas Belarus is where it is the most popular (relating to its population).[1]
It is a short form of Katarina – which in turn shares the same origin as its English form,[2] Katherine. It can also be a variant spelling of Carina, which is the feminine of “loved” or “dear” in both Latin and Italian.
