Meaning & origin
Reneta is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1925 but has never achieved widespread popularity. It is most likely a variant of Renata, a name with Latin roots meaning 'reborn' and common in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese-speaking cultures. Reneta's peak usage occurred in 1979, though even then it did not break into the top 1,000. Since that peak, its trajectory has remained stable with very low usage, and it has not been recorded in the top states in any given year. The name has a melodic, international quality that appeals to parents seeking a distinctive alternative to the more common Renata.
Reneta is likely a feminine variant of Renato, the Italian form of Renatus, a Latin name meaning 'reborn'. It may also be a spelling variant of Renata, which is more common in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese.
