Meaning and origin of Reina
Reina is a Spanish name that means “queen”.
Reina is the Spanish word for "queen," from the Latin regina. It has long been used as a given name in Spanish-speaking countries, sometimes honoring the Virgin Mary under the title Queen of Heaven. The same sound also appears independently as a Japanese name, where it can be written with various characters, and in Yiddish as a form meaning "pure." Reina has a regal meaning with a light, friendly sound. It is simple to spell, and it pairs well with both Spanish and English middle names.
