Regyne is Latin in Origin.

Regyne is a rare, modern variant of Regine/Regina, ultimately from Latin regina “queen,” the feminine of rex “king,” rooted in the Indo-European *h3reĝ‑ “to rule.” Its y and final ‑yne lend an ornate, French‑tinged look recalling Régine and occasional early‑modern English spellings with y. The core meaning - “queen,” “sovereign,” “ruler” - gives the name an unmistakably regal tone.

The parent form Regina was long favored across Catholic Europe as a title of the Virgin Mary (Regina Caeli), spreading widely from the Middle Ages and seeing renewed popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries. Regine/Régine is common in Germanic and French contexts; related forms include Reine (Fr.), Reina/Reyna (Sp.), and the diminutives Gina, Gigi, Reggie, and Rina. While Regyne itself is scarcely attested and modern in feel, it fits contemporary tastes for distinctive spellings while preserving an enduring, queenly heritage.
