Renea
Renea Origin and Meaning
Renea is a feminine name primarily used in English-speaking countries, derived from the Latin name Renata meaning 'reborn' or 'born again.' It's closely related to René (masculine) and Renée (feminine), which share the same etymological roots connecting to concepts of renewal and spiritual rebirth. The spelling variant Renea emerged in America during the mid-20th century as a phonetic adjustment to the more traditional Renée, removing the accent mark while maintaining the same pronunciation. The name saw modest popularity during the 1960s and 1970s but remains relatively uncommon. Renea combines the spiritual depth of its meaning with an accessible, flowing sound. The name's association with renewal and rebirth gives it an optimistic quality, while its French origins lend it a touch of elegance.
