Renen is Hebrew in Origin.
Renen is a rare given name with several plausible roots. In Ancient Egyptian, ren means "name," and the goddess Renenutet (also Renenet) bestowed names and abundance; Renen can thus suggest "identity," "named," or "favored by fortune." In Hebrew, it aligns with the root r-n-n ("to sing, rejoice"), linking it to Ronen and Renan and yielding senses like "joyful song." Some also read it as a modern elaboration of Ren (Japanese Ren can mean "lotus" or "love" depending on kanji) or as relating to Rene from Latin Renatus, "reborn."
Usage is uncommon but international, surfacing in Israel, Europe, and North America among parents seeking a compact, gender-flexible choice. Related forms and near-variants include Ronen, Renan, Renon, Rene/René, and Ren; mythic Renenet echoes the Egyptian strand. Feminine counterparts may be Renee or Rena. Short forms and nicknames: Ren, Reni, Renni.
Renen is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 53 times, across 19 countries.
