Meaning:Lady; Matron
Meet Matrina, a girl's name as sweet as a nesting doll, with roots in the Russian матрона (Matrona), meaning "matron," "lady," or "home-maker." The term matron, signifying a married woman of social respectability and mature years, finds its roots in Old French matrone and Latin mātrona. Matryoshka, linked to the renowned Russian nesting dolls, simply means "little matron." It comes from Matryona (Матрёна), and that's where Matrina, a more modern version of the name, comes from. Just like the Matryoshka dolls, your little Matrina holds the beauty of femininity and familial interconnectedness.
