Renate is Dutch, Latin in Origin.
Renate is the German and Dutch feminine form of the Latin Renatus, meaning “reborn” or “born again,” a sense tied to early Christian baptism. In German it’s pronounced reh-NAH-teh; Dutch tends toward rə-NAH-tuh. The name appears throughout Central and Northern Europe and saw strong mid‑20th‑century use in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and parts of Scandinavia; it is less common for babies today, lending it a vintage, Continental charm.
Renate shares roots with a broad family: Renata (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Czech/Slovak, Romanian, South Slavic), Renáta (Hungarian), and the French Renée; masculine counterparts include Renatus, René, and Renato. Diminutives such as Reni, Renie, and Rena occur in several languages. Though no major female saints bear the exact form, its popularity draws on male saints named Renatus (of Angers and of Sorrento). Overall meaning centers on renewal, revival, and spiritual new beginnings.
