About the name Sabina
Sabina is one of a cluster of names that swept Nepal in the eighties and nineties, chosen for sound and modernity rather than any scriptural anchor. It happens to coincide with an unrelated Latin name, which gives it a rare double life in Western workplaces.
Sabina is a girl name of Nepali origin, pronounced suh-BEE-nah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 68 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
