What is the meaning of the name Renata ?

The baby name Renata is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: /rəˈnɑːtə/ (ruh-NAH-tuh); Italian/Spanish/Polish: /reˈnata/ (reh-NAH-tah).

Renata is Croatian, Czech, Latin, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Spanish in Origin.

Renata is the feminine form of the Latin Renatus, meaning born again or reborn. Rooted in early Christian language of spiritual renewal and baptism, the name traveled through Romance-speaking Europe and later into Slavic realms. While the masculine Renatus/Renato produced medieval saints, the feminine Renata gained wider currency from the Renaissance onward, aligning with humanist tastes and later Catholic naming patterns.

It is standard in Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Polish, with variant spellings Renáta (Czech, Slovak, Hungarian) and Renate (German, Dutch, Scandinavian). Related forms include French Renée and the masculine Renato/Renatus; short forms such as Rena, Reni, and Nata appear locally. Renata saw 20th-century peaks in Poland, the former Yugoslavia, and Brazil, and has maintained steady international appeal in recent decades thanks to its clear meaning, cross-language pronunciation, and refined yet vivacious sound.
