Usage: Obscure
Rating: 44% based on 5 votes
Etymology uncertain.
It could be the feminine form of an Arabic name that sounds like Zafrin or a variant of Zeferina. The name can also be created by Stephenie Meyer for her book 'Breaking Dawn' (2008) where the character is an Indigenous American woman from Pantanal wetlands, Amazon, South America so there is a possibility that is actually an Indigenous name.
