You'll always be safe with Sandrina around! This mystical feminine name is of Greek origin and means "man's defender." Shortened to Sandra over time and derived from Alexandra, it has deep Greek roots. Alexandra was often used as a nickname for the Greek goddess Hera, who was the goddess of childbirth, women, and marriage. The lyrical moniker Sandrina was used in La finta giardiniera, a play written by Mozart in Munich in the 1700s, signifying its long reign as a given name. It's a lovely name to pay homage to your baby's heritage that might inspire them to be as strong and powerful as a Greek goddess.
