Rexine is in Origin.

Rexine is a modern English feminine formation built on Latin rex “king,” using the French-derived suffix -ine that creates feminine counterparts (as in Maxine). The name surfaced in English-speaking records in the early 20th century, likely as a creative elaboration of Rex and in the orbit of regal names like Regina/Regine. It has remained rare, with modest visibility in the 1930s–60s and occasional contemporary use among parents seeking vintage-quirky choices. Some awareness may be colored by Rexine, the trade name of a leathercloth popular in Britain, which may have both familiarized and limited the name.

Meaning “king; royal, regal,” Rexine carries a bold, crown-like aura. Variants and near-forms include Rexene, Rexina, Rexanne, and Rexana; related are Regine and Regina. Common nicknames are Rexie and Rex. Usage spans primarily the UK, USA, and other Anglophone regions.
