What Does the Name Raegina Mean?
Raegina is an English spelling variant of Regina, a name derived from the Latin word regina, meaning "queen." Latin regina is the feminine noun corresponding to rex, "king," so its literal sense is a female ruler or queen. The ae in Raegina is not part of the Latin spelling; it is an English respelling that gives the opening syllable the appearance of the name Rae.
Raegina Name History & Origins
Regina began as the Latin word for a queen. In Christian Latin it became a title for the Virgin Mary, especially in the hymn Salve Regina ("Hail, Holy Queen") and the antiphon Regina caeli ("Queen of Heaven"). A martyr named Regina was venerated at Autun, and the name was used as a given name in continental Europe. English speakers inherited Regina mainly in its Latin form; Raegina alters the spelling with ae, producing a form that resembles the English name Rae without changing the underlying derivation.
