Roweina is English in Origin.
Roweina is a modern respelling of Rowena, an English feminine name recorded by Geoffrey of Monmouth in the 12th century. Most scholars trace Rowena to Germanic elements hrod "fame" and wynn "joy," giving the sense "joyful fame," though the exact origin is debated. The -ei- spelling is a contemporary twist and also happens to resemble the Arabic Ruwayna/Ruwaynah in transliteration, a similarity that sometimes lends the name cross-cultural appeal.
Rowena gained wider recognition through Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe (1819) and enjoyed periodic revivals in the English-speaking world; Roweina appears in recent decades as a rare offshoot. Close variants include Rowena, Roweena, Rowenna, and Rowina. Across these forms, the prevailing meaning remains "fame with joy," combining renown with a note of gladness.
Roweina is vanishingly rare. In all, it appears just 8 times, across 5 countries.
