MEANING & HISTORY

What does Trina mean?

Trina is a familiar form of Katrina, in the Katherine family. The older Greek Aikaterine has a debated derivation, with pure becoming a longstanding Christian association.

The short form is well documented even without choosing one ancient root. Trina should not automatically be treated as a separate word meaning three from its Latin-looking spelling.
