Renitte is in Origin.
Renitte is a rare feminine given name with likely French-Latin roots. It is most plausibly an embellished form of Renée, the French feminine of René, ultimately from Latin Renatus, meaning 'reborn' or 'born again.' The double -tt- and -itte ending lend a French diminutive feel, so the name can be read as 'little reborn one.' Some also connect Renitte to Renette/Reinette, French pet forms derived from reine 'queen,' yielding the poetic sense 'little queen.'
Usage is sparse and modern, appearing occasionally in Anglophone records and among Francophone-influenced families from the late 20th century onward. Related forms and variants include Renette, Reinette, Renita, Renata, Renate, and Renée; short forms Reni, Ren, Rena, Nita, and Nettie are possible. The masculine counterpart is René (Latin Renatus). With its soft cadence and layered etymology, Renitte offers a distinctive alternative to more familiar Ren- names.
Renitte does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
