Meaning & origin

Rogina is a rare name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1955. It reached its peak popularity in 1973, but has never been common. The name is given to fewer than five babies per year in most decades, and it did not rank in any top state lists. Its trajectory has remained stable, with no recent revival. While likely a modern variant of Regina, its exact origin is uncertain.

Rogina is a rare modern coinage, likely an elaboration of the name Regina (Latin for 'queen') with the addition of a fashionable suffix. It first appeared in U.S. records in 1955 but has never seen widespread use. The name reached its peak rank in 1973, with fewer than five births annually in most years.
