What are the meanings behind the names Sierra, Sabrina and Samantha?
Sabrina- A name for the River Severn, possibly inspired by the Celtic legend of Sabrina, daughter of King Locrine and his mistress Estrildis, whose birth caused the queen to slay her husband and toss mother and daughter into the River Severn.


I think that this name is quite modern-sounding and is quite popular like "Sabrina the teenage witch".


Samantha- Heard. A name implying the granting of parents' prayers for a child. A popular name in the US.


Well, I have to say that this is my favorite name of the three, as this is actually MY middle name!


Sierra- The name Sierra comes from the Irish origin. In Irish The meaning of the name Sierra is: Dark. Feminine of Ciaran.


This name is quite feminine, and sounds beautiful.

Sierra means moutian and it's origin is Spainish. I personally love it! It's very cute :)





Sabrina means from the river servern and it's orign is Latin. I think it is an alright name, but I don't like anywhere near as much as I like Sierra!





Samantha means combined name and it's origin is American. It's a bit too much of a common name for me!





Hope this helps :)
