The name Karina was chosen by Ohlf, the discoverer, after a character in Rostand's poem. While the poem itself is not particularly well-known today, the asteroid's name has been preserved and is now part of the official catalog of minor planets.

107 Karina has been observed by several spacecraft and telescopes over the years. In the 1980s, the asteroid was observed by the IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) spacecraft, which provided initial estimates of its size and albedo (reflectivity). More recent observations have been made by the NEOWISE (Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) mission, which has provided updated estimates of the asteroid's size and shape. y107 karina
