Meaning and origin of Reyna
Reyna is a Spanish name that means “queen”.
Reyna is a Spanish name based on reina, "queen", from the Latin regina. The spelling with a y is a traditional variant, also seen as a surname. In Catholic tradition the Virgin Mary is honored with titles such as Reina del Cielo, "Queen of Heaven", which adds to the name's appeal in Spanish-speaking countries. Reyna has also been used among Sephardic Jewish families. It is short, strong and graceful, with a clear royal meaning that is easy to explain. Rey is a simple nickname, and the name works well in both Spanish and English.
