No biblical text named “Serena” appears in either Testament of the Christian Bible, and the name does not feature in the recognized canonical books of the Old Testament or the New Testament. Serena is a Latin-derived feminine given name meaning ‘clear’ or ‘tranquil,’ which may help explain its association with tranquil biblical ideals, but it is not the name of any person, place, or role found in scripture.
Because the Bible is often referenced generically in popular culture, the question “Is Serena in the Testaments?” is common. This article clarifies the name’s canonical status, distinguishes historical usage from scriptural occurrence, and outlines why the confusion arises, so readers can understand what is and is not present in biblical texts.
