Reine means "queen" in French but as far as I know it is not a personal French name.

The name Reine was used 33992 in France in the last centuryWell actually between 1900 and 2003 it was used that many times. Reine translates into English as Regina as that is what the French call Saint Regina.

I thought Regine is a french form of Regina. I found that information about Reine on another baby names site and I have been to France several times and really can't imagine meeting someone with that name. (On the other hand if there can be Queens and Princesses in the anglophone countries why not Reine in France)

As I said over 30,000 women in France are named Reine. I checked the statistics for it and have no reason to make it up. Regine is also used and in fact there are over 60,000 women named Regine in France. However Reine is also a translation of Regina because as I said that is what the French call Saint Regina.
