Meaning & origin
Regenia is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1890. While it has never ranked in the top 1000, it reached its peak usage in 1948, consistent with the mid-century popularity of elaborate, feminine forms. Since then, its use has been stable but very low. Its origins are uncertain; it may be a creative variant of Regina or a feminine elaboration of Reginald. Because the name has never been common, no states show significant usage. Regenia offers a vintage, uncommon choice for parents seeking a name with queenly associations and a classic feel.
Regenia is likely a feminine elaboration of Reginald, or a variant of Regina, derived from Latin 'regina' meaning 'queen'. It first appeared in the late 19th century and saw its peak usage in the 1940s in the United States, though it has always been rare.
