Serafin Family History
Serafin Name Meaning
Polish, Spanish (Serafín), Portuguese, and Italian
(Venetian): from a medieval personal name, Latin Seraphinus,
from Hebrew serafim. In the Bible this term is applied to the
class of six-winged creatures described in Isaiah 6, which came to be
regarded in the Middle Ages as a class of angels; it is the plural
form of Hebrew saraf, probably a derivative of saraf ‘to
burn’. In part the Portuguese surname may represent a religious byname
adopted in honor of the Capuchin monk St. Seraphinus (1540–1604,
formally canonized in 1767).
