Reginna

Meaning & origin

Reginna is a variant spelling of Regina, which comes directly from the Latin word for queen. First recorded in the U.S. in 1952, Reginna saw modest use throughout the mid-20th century, reaching its peak in 1971. The name's trajectory has remained stable over the decades, though it has never appeared among the top ranked names. Its classic roots and regal meaning give it a dignified feel, while the double-n spelling adds a distinctive touch compared to the traditional Regina.

Reginna derives from the Latin word regina, meaning 'queen.' It is a variant spelling of Regina, a name used since Roman times. Saint Regina, a third-century martyr, contributed to its use in Christian contexts. Reginna is a modern respelling that peaked in usage during the 1970s.
