Reena is a feminine given name with several linguistic pathways. In South Asia it is a popular modern choice - especially in India from the late 20th century - where Reena/Rina functions as a stand-alone name and as an Anglicized spelling shaped by Hindi and Bengali pronunciation. The visibility of Indian figures such as actress Reena Roy helped cement its familiarity, and the name remains common across the South Asian diaspora.
Etymology varies by context. As a spelling variant of Hebrew Rina, it carries the meaning “joy; joyful song.” In European usage it can be a short form of Irene/Irina (from Greek Eirene, “peace”) or of -rina names like Marina, Karina, and Caterina, inheriting meanings such as “of the sea,” “beloved,” or “pure.” Variants and related forms include Rina, Rena, Reenah, Irene, Irina, and Irena; diminutives like Ree also occur.
