Origin and meaning of Marcelina
Marcelina is the feminine form of Marcel, from the Latin Marcellus, tied to the god Mars and thus to ideas of strength and vitality. In Poland it is an elegant, somewhat refined name, less common than its male counterpart, chosen by parents who love classic Latin names with a soft, musical ending. It also recalls Saint Marcellina, sister of Saint Ambrose, a figure of early Milanese Christianity.
