Raena is of Latin origin, derived from the word 'Regina', which means 'queen'. It was originally used as a title for female rulers and later adopted as a given name. In English-speaking countries, Raena gained popularity in the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon. It has a unique sound that sets it apart from more traditional names like Regina or Raina. The name Raena suggests nobility and elegance, reflecting its regal origin.
"Raena is a name that gained popularity over time, with its usage increasing significantly from the late 1970s onwards. Between 1959 and 1978, there were fewer than 30 births per year on average, but this number began to rise sharply in the following decade, reaching a peak of 55 births in 2005. Since then, the popularity of Raena has fluctuated, with recent years (2019-2023) seeing around 35 births annually."
