What is the meaning of the name Regine ?

Regine is Latin in Origin.

Regine is a feminine name derived from Latin Regina, “queen,” built on the Indo‑European root reg‑ “to rule.” It entered European name stocks through Christian devotion to Mary as Regina Caeli (“Queen of Heaven”), then settled as Régine in French and Regine in German and Scandinavian contexts. Pronunciations vary: French ray-ZHEEN (Régine) and German/Nordic reh-GEE-nuh.

Variants include Regina (Italian/English/Spanish), Régine (French), Regína (Icelandic), and Scandinavian/Danish/Norwegian Regine; related cognates are Reina/Reine and the diminutives Gina, Gigi, and Reggie. The name saw steady use in 19th‑century Germany and Scandinavia - famously borne by Regine Olsen, fiancée of Søren Kierkegaard - and enjoyed mid‑20th‑century popularity in France (singer Régine) and later in the Philippines via pop icon Regine Velasquez. Today Regine suggests queenly poise with continental flair, offering a familiar yet distinctive alternative to Regina.
