The story of Sareena
Serenus was the Latin word for a clear, calm sky, and it became a title of rulers: the Republic of Venice styled itself La Serenissima, the Most Serene Republic, for a thousand years until Napoleon ended it. Serena came into English as a girl's name from the same word. Sarina grew separately from Sarah. Sareena writes the long vowel both names share, and the record does not say which road a family took.
Meaningscholars disagree
serene, calm, as a form of Serena
Sareena may be a spelling of Serena, from Latin serenus, calm, clear; or of Sarina, a pet form of Sarah, which means princess. The double e settles how it is said but not where it came from.
