<p>René is a feminine name of French origin, though it's also used as a masculine name in French-speaking regions (where the masculine form is identical but pronounced slightly differently). As a female name, it derives from the Latin name "Renatus" meaning "reborn" or "born again," carrying connotations of spiritual renewal. The acute accent over the 'e' gives it a distinctly French aesthetic. While more common in France and French-speaking areas, René has maintained modest usage internationally. The name exudes a sophisticated European elegance and has cultural connections to French art and literature. Its simplicity, combined with its rich meaning and cultural heritage, appeals to parents seeking a name that balances refinement with accessibility.</p>
