Rina Singh: Hello. My name is Rina Singh. My first name, Rina, is short and simple. It's not a common name because I never met another Rina growing up in India. My father named me after watching the film, Sabrina, starring Audrey Hepburn, and shortened it, but I still have to spell it out over the phone or at coffee shops because it bothers me when people spell it with an E or a double E. What I like is that the letters of my name can make the word rain. My last name, Singh, comes from the Sanskrit word, simhá, meaning lion. It is the sixth most common last name in the world. There you have it, Rina Singh.
