What is the meaning of the name Trena ?

The baby name Trena is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TREEN-uh (IPA: /ˈtriːnə/).

Trena is English in Origin.

Trena is a modern English feminine name most often viewed as a variant of Trina, itself a short form of Katherine/Katharine and related forms such as Katrina and Catriona. It also aligns with the Anglicized Irish Treena from Tríona (a diminutive of Catríona) and parallels the Scandinavian pet name Trine. Through this shared lineage with Katherine, Trena carries the widely accepted meaning "pure," from Greek katharos.

In the United States, Trena saw modest use in the mid-20th century, with pockets of popularity in the 1960s-70s alongside other clipped forms of Katherine. Today it is rare, sometimes chosen for its streamlined sound or as a distinctive twist on Trina. Variant spellings and cognates include Trina, Treena, Trenna, Tríona/Triona, Trine, Katrina, and Catriona. The name fits comfortably with concise, two-syllable vintage-revival choices while remaining uncommon.
