Carina can mean the keel of a boat. It is also the name of the bone to which the flight muscles of a bird are attached.
I wonder which came first.

No, it's a song by Domenico Moduno from 1961:
Carina, Carina, Carina,
Tu voglio piu presto casar..."
Remember?

They also made a Corona.
BTW, speaking of Volare, why's it called that when it's about a gal with a blue Pinto?
