“SABRINA (THE ‘TEENAGE WITCH’)”
.
.
(‘sabrina’ (‘sbina’ / ‘sbna’ / ‘bina’) is a ‘feminine given name’ taken from the roman name for a ‘river’ in ‘mid-wales’ which flows into ‘england’, there known as the ‘severn’)
(according to a legend recounted by “‘geoffrey’ of ‘monmouth’ in the ‘1100s’, ‘habren’ (or ‘sabrina’, the latinized form of the river’s ‘common brittonic’ or ‘proto-welsh’ name), was the ‘daughter’ of a ‘king’ named ‘locrinus’ (also known as locrin or locrine in ‘english’) by his ‘mistress’, the germanic princess ‘estrildis’)
(‘locrinus’ ruled ‘england’ after the death of his ‘father’ (”brutus’ of ‘troy”), the legendary 2nd founder of ‘britain’)
(‘locrinus’ cast aside his wife (‘guendolen’), and their son ‘maddan’ and acknowledged ‘sabrina’ and her ‘mother’)
(“wow! the realization of my ‘greatest fears’ as a (relatively) ‘young man’! just ’bout sums it up! ‘fraid so! ’til next time!”)
(but the enraged ‘guendolen’ raised an army against him and defeated ‘locrinus’ in battle)
(*played by a modern day “sabrina pettinato”!*)
(‘guendolen’ then ordered that ‘sabrina’ and her ‘mother’ be ‘drowned’ in the ‘river’)
(“hmmm….”)
(“anyone?”)
(“feminists?)
(“anyone…?”)
(the ‘river’ was named after ‘sabrina’ so locrinus’s (“locrine’s”?) betrayal of ‘guendolen’ would never be ‘forgotten’)
(‘according to legend’, ‘sabrina’ lives in the ‘river’, which ‘reflects her ‘mood”)
(she rides in a ‘chariot’!)
“swing low…”
(‘dolphins’ and ‘salmon’ swim alongside her…)
(*hmmm…*)
(aka “picture yourself on a…”)
(the later story suggests that the legend of ‘sabrina’ could have become intermingled with old stories of a “‘river’ *goddess* or *nymph*”)
(on the name ‘sabrina’, the ‘facts on file’ dictionary of ‘first names’ (‘1983’) “has this to say”:)
(‘roman name’ for the ‘river severn’)
(in ‘england’)
(‘ekwall’, in his english river names, thinks that ‘severn’ is a ‘celtic’ name but is unable to explain it)
(the ‘legendary explanation’ for ‘sabrina’ is that she was the ‘daughter’ of ‘king locrine’ by his mistress ‘estrildis’)
(‘queen quendolen’s’ *fury* led to her assembling an ‘army’ to make ‘war’ on her ‘husband’, who was ‘slain’)
(‘guendolen’ then had ‘sabrina’ and ‘estrildis’ thrown into the ‘river’ which from that time was called ‘sabrina’)
(the poet ‘milton’, in comus, and the playwright ‘fletcher’, in the faithful shepherdess, refer to the ‘legend’)
(in ‘modern times’ there has been a play sabrina fair by ‘samuel taylor’, and a film called ‘sabrina’)
(in ‘britain’, the name was used throughout the ’19th century’ but has been very rarely used in the ’20th century’)
(In the ‘USA’ it was being steadily used in the ‘1970s’ + ‘early 1980s’)
(it also notes that “[i]n the ‘USA’, ‘sabrina’ has tended to displace ‘sabina’ since [the 1940s])
(“please note…this observation may (very well) lead to some sorta ‘linguistic breakthrough’ one day!”)
(the name gained popularity in ‘english-speaking populations’ following the release of the film sabrina (‘1954’); it was the ‘789th most popular name’ for ‘girls’ born in the ‘united states’ in ‘1954’, and rose to the 245th most popular name in ‘1955’)
(its use has continued, boosted by the popularity of the comic book character “‘sabrina’ (the ‘teenage witch’)”)
(who debuted in ‘1962’)
(a ‘television series’ featured the ‘character’ in the ‘1990s’)
(the name was ranked as the ‘197th most popular name’ for U.S.-born ‘girls’ in ‘2007’)
(many ‘indians’ have the name ‘sabrina’, as sab means “everything” in ‘hindi’ and ‘punjabi’)
(it is also known to be an ‘arabic’ name; *’sabreena’ / ‘sabrina’) and its masculine equivalent: (‘sabreen’ / ‘sabrin’), are associated with the arabic word sabr meaning “patience”)
