Larena is a modern feminine given name in English with several overlapping roots. Often treated as a variant of Lareina, it echoes Spanish la reina, “the queen.” It is also read as an elaboration of Rena, a name that traces to multiple traditions - Hebrew Rina “joy, song,” Greek Irene “peace,” and French Renée “reborn.” Some bearers use Larena as a streamlined cousin of Lorena/Laurena, thereby linking it to Laura’s laurus “laurel, bay” symbolism of honor, or to Lorraine, ultimately from Germanic Lothar “famous army.”

Documented sporadically in U.S. records since the mid-1900s, Larena has remained rare and stylistically modern, favored by parents who like the La- prefix trend. Variant forms include LaRena, Lareena, Lareina, Larina, Laurena, and Lorena; diminutives such as Lara and Rena are common. Its layered etymologies allow meanings ranging from “queenly” to “joyful/peaceful” to “laurel-crowned.”
