Lareina is Spanish in Origin.

Lareina is a modern feminine given name drawn from Spanish la reina, "the queen," ultimately from Latin regina. As a contraction of the definite article and noun, it reads as a title elevated to a personal name, chosen for its regal tone and, in some contexts, Marian resonance (La Reina used for the Virgin Mary). Usage appears sporadically in Spanish-speaking communities and in the United States from the mid-20th century onward, often as an English-Spanish crossover choice.

Variants include La Reina (two words), LaReina, and the simplified Reina or Reyna; related names by meaning are Regina and the Slavic Raina/Rayna. Lareina is sometimes mistaken for Laraine/Lorraine, though these are etymologically unrelated. The name signals sovereignty, dignity, and leadership, while offering approachable nicknames such as Reina or Rina. Its rarity lends distinctiveness without sacrificing clarity of meaning.
