What does the name 
Reina mean?

Reina is a name that has multiple unrelated origins and meanings. For example, in Spanish it means ‘queen’, ‘strong counsel’ in Germanic languages, ‘happy’ in Bulgarian and ‘wise’ in Japanese.

Some variants like... Rainna and Reigna are influenced by the English words 'rain' and 'reign', but these meanings arise merely from folk ethymology.

Reina has 5 letters 
and begins with an R

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter R is neither particularly common nor particularly rare as a first letter for girls' names: 4.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with this letter. The most common first letters of girls' names are A and S, while X and U are the least common initials of girls' names.

With five letters, the name Reina is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

Thus, it follows that if 4.1% of all girls' names start with an R, this initial letter occurs about as often as all 26 letters on average. And maybe interesting to know: Rebecca is the girls’ name starting with R, which is the most common of all.

Other names with
