Carina is a southern constellation, the keel of the great ship Argo; in Latin the word also means dear or beloved.
Bright and warm, it pairs the night sky with a note of affection.
Carina does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Carina reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
