Meaning & origin
Reyna, the Spanish word for 'queen', has seen notable growth in popularity in recent decades. First recorded in the US in 1913, it remained relatively uncommon for much of the 20th century. However, since 1985 it has been on a steady rise, reaching its peak rank of 594 in 2024 and holding that position into 2025. The name's recent surge reflects broader trends favoring melodic, feminine Spanish names in multicultural America. Reyna is particularly popular in states with large Hispanic populations, with Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Arizona ranking among its top states. Its statistical trajectory suggests continued growth, offering a regal yet accessible choice for parents seeking a name with clear meaning and cultural resonance.
Reyna is the Spanish word for 'queen', derived from Latin 'regina'. It has been used as a given name in Spanish-speaking cultures, often in reference to the Virgin Mary as 'Reina del Cielo' (Queen of Heaven). The variant Reyna is common among Hispanic communities in the United States.
