Ranae

Ranae is a feminine name with several possible origins. It may be a variant of Renée, the French feminine form of René, meaning "reborn" or "born again." Alternatively, it could be connected to the Latin "rana" meaning "frog" or be a variation of Renata, meaning "reborn" in Latin. The name has a delicate, melodic quality with its flowing syllables. Ranae enjoyed modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s but has since become less common, giving it a somewhat vintage appeal today. The spelling with an "ae" ending gives the name a classical feel while distinguishing it from the more common Renee or Rene variations.

Pronounced ruh-NAY.
