Regie

Regie is a masculine name that typically serves as a nickname or variant of Reginald, which derives from Germanic elements meaning 'counsel' and 'power.' It can also function as a shortened form of Regis, from Latin meaning 'ruler.' In French-speaking regions, the pronunciation tends toward 'reh-ZHEE,' while English speakers typically say 'REJ-ee.' This versatile short form has a casual, friendly quality while maintaining connections to more formal traditional names. Regie has seen sporadic usage throughout the 20th century but never became common in English-speaking countries. The name sometimes appears as a standalone given name rather than just a nickname, particularly in regions influenced by French naming patterns.

Pronounced REJ-ee.

As of October 2026, Regie ranked #9850 in US births in 1993 SSA, peaked at #3548 in 1972.
