Meaning & origin
Reene is a rare feminine name, likely a spelling variant of Renee. According to Social Security data, it was first recorded in 1953, with its peak year of use in 1957, though it never rose to significant popularity. The name showed stable usage through the 1950s but has remained extremely uncommon, with no recorded births in recent years. It has not been associated with any particular top states. Reene offers a simplified spelling of the classic French name Renee, but its rarity means it is likely to be mispronounced or misspelled.
Reene is a variant spelling of Renee, the French feminine form of René, which derives from the Latin name Renatus meaning 'reborn' (from renasci, 'to be born again'). The name was popular among early Christians as a reference to spiritual rebirth. It has been used in English-speaking countries since the 19th century. The variant Reene appears sporadically, with recorded use in the United States since the 1950s.
