Reen is English, Irish in Origin.

Reen is a modern, largely unisex given name with several intersecting roots. In English use, it often functions as a clipped or phonetic variant of Irene (from Greek Eirēnē, “peace”) or René/Rene (ultimately from Latin Renatus, “reborn”), and as a short form of mid-century favorites like Maureen and Doreen. It can also arise from Reena, especially in South Asian families, where Reena is linked to Rina and Hebrew Rina/Rinnah, “joy, song.” In Ireland, Reen is familiar in place-names from Irish rinn, “headland,” a geographic sense that sometimes informs the name’s local appeal.

As a forename, Reen appears sporadically in 20th-century records, more commonly as a nickname than as a birth name, with modest independent use since the 1990s. Variant spellings include Reene and Rean; related forms are René/Rene, Irene, Reena, Maureen, and Doreen. Depending on the source, Reen may carry meanings of peace, rebirth, joy, or a coastal “point.”
