Sophie I think it's less likely to be Italian & more likely to be someone whose mother/grandmother was a Sabina.

Or a family that were into biblical names.

Ozi.

The origin of the name Sabina is Latin and comes from Sabine which means "Of Ancient Italian Culture".

It is a region in Italy, also the name of a Roman emperors wife.

I have several Sabinas in the Yorkshire branch of my family
