Nothing as a whole: Chinese picks 萨布丽娜 for how it sounds, Sàbùlìnà, close to Sabrina. On its own, 布 means cloth and 丽 beautiful.
Sabrina is written 萨布丽娜, 4 characters: 萨 (11 strokes), 布 (5 strokes), 丽 (7 strokes), 娜 (9 strokes). Each is drawn stroke by stroke on this page, in the order you write it.
By sound, with characters picked for how they are said: Michael is 迈克尔 (Màikè’ěr). Newspapers, subtitles and books use one usual form for each common name.
A name made the Chinese way: a one-character family name first, then one or two characters picked for their meaning. Many learners use one in class.
It’s a starting point. Ask a Chinese speaker or teacher before you put it on anything that lasts, like a tattoo or a document.
