Meaning & origin
Rejeana first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1947, but it never entered the top 1000 most popular names. Its peak year of use was 1970, when the highest number of baby girls were given this name. Since then, its trajectory has been stable, indicating a low but persistent level of use. The name is a variant of Regina, which has a stronger historical presence but also lacks modern ubiquity. Rejeana's distinct spelling adds a touch of individuality. Top states associated with this name are not recorded, suggesting its use is evenly distributed across the country or too sparse to pinpoint geographic trends.
Rejeana is a modern English elaboration of the name Regina, which derives from Latin regina meaning 'queen'. The spelling with 'ea' likely arose in the mid-20th century as a feminine variation. It saw modest use in the United States during the mid-1900s, particularly in the 1970s when it reached its peak popularity.
