Riena is a rare feminine name most commonly explained as a Dutch/Frisian form built on the Germanic element regin/ragin “counsel, decision,” found in Rein-/Rien- names such as Reinoud and Rients; as a feminine, the -a ending is typical in the Low Countries. In parallel, some treat it as a spelling variant of Spanish Reina “queen,” from Latin regina, or as a clipped pet form of longer -rina names (Marina, Katarina). Depending on the root chosen, its sense ranges from “wise counsel” to “queenly.”

Documented in Dutch civil records from the late 19th century, Riena has remained uncommon and regionally concentrated in the Netherlands and Friesland, with sporadic modern use elsewhere. Short or related forms include Rina, Rieneke, and Reina; alternate spellings include Rienna. In English-speaking contexts it is occasionally adopted as a streamlined update to Rina or Reina. Pronunciation typically follows REE-eh-nah.
