Reina

Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Reina: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2024.

Of Spanish, Italian, and Japanese origin, Reina means "queen" in Spanish and Italian, stemming from the Latin *regina*. In Japanese, it can mean "wise" or "lotus," depending on the kanji used, making it a name with regal and serene associations. Famous bearers include Reina Tanaka, a Japanese singer and actress with the group Morning Musume, and Reina de la Guerra, a notable figure in early Californian history, though her name was more of a title. While no specific Scottish places are named after a bearer, the Spanish *Reina* shares its root with the Scottish name Regina, also meaning queen. A further note: Reina has grown in global popularity as a multicultural alternative to Gina or Raina, and it has a gentle, melodic sound that appeals to parents seeking a name that crosses borders.
