It is a Jewish tradition to name a child after a family member who has passed away, so when Serafina – whose father, Ruben, is Jewish – was born on the day that her paternal grandparents had died three years earlier (April 24), her parents decided that they wanted to name her in honour of their memory. The first letters of Serafina’s first and middle name, S and J, match those of her late grandparents, Sandy and Judy.
