Meaning and origin

Seraphina means Fiery one — from the Hebrew biblical term seraphim (an order of six-winged angels described in the Book of Isaiah), whose root saraph means 'to burn'.

Seraphina sits within the broader revival of ornate, angel- and virtue-themed given names in English-speaking countries in the early 21st century, distinguishing itself from more common angel names by its direct biblical grounding in the seraphim rather than 'angel' generically.
