Its usage is concentrated among families seeking a direct, elegant royal name with French cultural roots, though it does not appear in any specific top state lists.
Reine is the French word for 'queen.' It originated as a given name in France, often used in reference to the Virgin Mary as 'Notre-Dame de Reine' (Our Lady the Queen). The name has been used sporadically in French-speaking regions since the 19th century and occasionally appears in other countries as an elegant, regal choice.
