Reyna
Meaning of Reyna
Reyna breezes in sounding like royalty on roller-skates—short, bright, and impossible to ignore. Born from the Spanish word for “queen” and sharing roots with the Latin regina, the name carries the quiet confidence of a crown without ever feeling stuffy. In English it’s said RAY-nuh, while Spanish speakers roll it out as REY-nah, so a little girl named Reyna can switch accents as easily as swapping sneakers for ballet flats. Parents love that it sits comfortably in the mid-400s on the U.S. charts—familiar enough to spell on the first try, rare enough to earn a double-take at roll call. Literary buffs spot echoes of medieval queens; pop-culture fans think of fearless agents and sci-fi heroines. Either way, Reyna arrives with a built-in pep talk: stand tall, rule kindly, laugh often. After all, with a name that literally means “queen,” she won’t need a toy tiara to remind the world who she is.
