Meaning & origin

Reigna is a modern respelling of the classic name Regina, which has Latin origins meaning 'queen.' While the name Regina has been used for centuries, particularly among early Christians and European royalty, Reigna is a contemporary innovation that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1998. As of 2025, it ranks 4,546, with about 1 in 53,576 girls receiving the name. Its popularity peaked in 2020, before entering a declining trajectory in subsequent years. The name remains quite rare, with no single state showing a particular concentration of use.

Reigna is a modern spelling variant of Regina, the Latin word for 'queen.' Regina was a popular name among early Christians and has been used consistently in English-speaking countries. The respelling Reigna emerged in the late 20th century as a creative variation, maintaining the same pronunciation and meaning.
