About the name Regina

Regina is simply the Latin for queen, and it wears that literalness with complete confidence. A staple of mid-century Catholic families, it dipped for decades and is only now being reconsidered by parents chasing crisp, unfrilly vintage sounds.

Regina is a girl name of Latin origin, pronounced reh-JEE-nah. On the NameRarity scale it scores 66 out of 100, which places it in the rare band — recognisable but seldom used. Distinctive without needing to be spelled out twice. Its strongest period was the 1960s.
