The name Carina is derived from the Latin word 'carus' meaning 'beloved.' But it also holds a celestial connection, as Carina is a constellation in the southern sky; its name is Latin for "the keel of a ship," as it forms part of a larger constellation - Argo Navis, the great ship of the Argonauts. In a delightful blend of these meanings, Carina can also be considered to represent a cherished journey or beloved adventure.
Carina is of Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Scandinavian origin. Derived from the word 'carus,' it was originally used as a term of endearment in Roman times. It gradually evolved into a first name in southern European countries. Its celestial connection was established when Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, a French astronomer, named a constellation in the southern sky after Carina - part of the now obsolete Argo Navis constellation - in the 18th century.
Commonly found in popular culture, the name Carina has appeared in films, novels, and songs. Famous individuals with the name include Carina Lau, a notable Hong Kong actress, Carina Round, a British singer-songwriter, and Carina Dahl, a Norwegian pop artist and songwriter. In terms of popularity, the name Carina, while less prevalent today, was widely popular around the 1980s and 1990s. Often associated with a personality that is creative, reliable and strong-willed, Carina can be a distinctive and timelessly elegant choice for a baby name.

Carina is a popular Scandinavian name. A nickname is sometimes Cari or Rina. The Carinas i've known have been'tall, beautiful, and smart.
I'm from Portugal and here in Europe is quite a normal name, not too popular nor too absent. I like it, and even most it meaning: beloved. Actually, there's something that happened to me while I was attending to italian classes. The teacher was learning us some new words, and it included "carino" and "carina" to mean "beloved", and gave some examples as italians use it. Then, we should say some examples. I was the first one, he came by me and asked: "-So, what's your name❤️ - Carina!" He really didn'y knew it and it was quite funny! :)
Carina is a beautfiful name'so what r u saying for real❤️
