Reny is a unique and melodic given name of uncertain origin, derived from various sources including French, Breton, and even Japanese. In French, it's a diminutive of René, meaning 'reborn'. In Breton, it could be an abbreviated form of Renégonde, which translates to 'renewed'. Meanwhile, in Japan, Reny can be associated with the kanji characters 連 (ren) meaning 'connection' or 'series', and 也 (ya) meaning 'also'. Despite its varied etymology, Reny is often considered unisex, though it's more commonly used as a female name in some cultures. It's a charming choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet appealing moniker for their child.
"Reny experienced a boom in popularity in 1996 with six newborns bearing the name that year, bringing its total count to six."
