Rufina is the Latin feminine of Rufinus, from rufus (red-haired). Saints Justa and Rufina (3rd c.) were the Christian twin sisters of Seville — potters who refused to sell their wares for pagan rituals and were martyred together. Patron saints of Seville and Spanish potters.
Featured in works by Murillo and Goya.
Rufina 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 Rufina reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
