What is the meaning of the name Reni ?

The baby name Reni is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced REH-nee (/ˈrɛni/),RAY-nee (/ˈreɪni/).

Reni is Latin in Origin.

Reni is a cross‑cultural diminutive used in Germanic and Slavic languages for a cluster of Ren‑ and Ir‑ names. It most often shortens Renate/Renata (from Latin Renatus, “reborn”) or Irene/Irina (from Greek Eirēnē, “peace”). Common in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Bulgaria as a familiar form, Reni has also been adopted independently as a given name; while primarily feminine, it occasionally appears for men where it reflects René/Remato.

Variants and related forms include Rena, Rina, Renni/Renny, and Polish Renia; longer counterparts are Renate, Renata, Renée, René, Renato, Irene, Irina, Iryna, and Irena. The pet form rose with the mid‑20th‑century vogue of Renate/Renata in Central Europe and maintains a contemporary, pan‑European feel. It also appears in Japanese pop culture as a feminine given name, typically written in kana. Overall, the name carries resonances of “rebirth” or “peace,” depending on its root.
