Meaning

Seraphina is a feminine name of Hebrew origin meaning “burning ones”.

Seraphina derives from the seraphim, the six-winged angels of Isaiah's vision whose Hebrew name means the burning ones. Long preserved by a twelfth-century Italian saint, the name returned to fashion after Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck chose it in 2009, and its lavish syllables shorten sweetly to Sera or Fina.

Hovers just outside the US girls' top 1000 while thriving in stylish circles.
