All around the world, Sabena (Sabena , سابينا , Сабена ) is quite a rare primarily female, but very seldom boy's forename. The first name Sabena is characteristic of Sudan, where it is a rare female name, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, where it is a rare epicene name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is the most numerous in India, Bangladesh, and Philippines. Much less frequently, Sabena is the last name as well as the forename.
Sabena is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Adriano , the operatic character in the opera Adriano in Siria by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi; Sabina , the character in Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being; Sabina Sajkowska and Sabina Weksler .
