What does the name Karina mean and do you like it??

Answer 1

Carina derives from Italian (Latin before that) and it means cute, nice.
I don't like it verymuch because it's too goodie-two-shoes and girly.
But then again, if you're going for a nice personality, it's a good name.

Carina is also a latin name for a constellation of stars:

Carina is home to Canopus (alpha Carinae), the second brightest star in the heavens.
Its name is said to come from the pilot of the fleet of ships of King Menelaus. It was this king of Sparta who rallied the men of Sparta to fight for Helen of Troy; his prize was Helen herself, who became his queen. Of Canopus, the pilot, it is said that he died in Egypt after the fall of Troy.
Canopus -- the star -- was known in antiquity as the Star of Osiris and worshipped in many ancient cultures. This was the star that Posidonius used in Alexandria, circa 260 BC, as he became the first person to plot out a degree of the Earth's surface.
