About the name Serena
Serena comes from the Latin serenus, meaning clear, calm, or serene, a word first used of untroubled skies and weather. Saint Serena is an early Christian figure venerated in Rome, though little is known of her life. Edmund Spenser gave the name to a lady rescued by Sir Calidore and Sir Calepine in the sixth book of The Faerie Queene. The tennis player Serena Williams is the most famous modern bearer, alongside her sister Venus. The name is used in English and Italian, and the related word serene shares the same source.
