[Opinions] Meaning and pronunciation
Reinette means queen because it comes from the name Regina, "petit reine" is how you say "little queen" in French.Reinette is also a type of apple and a tree frog (frog is also rainette in this case but Reinette is a popular frog character on a show). It is pronounced more like "reh NET" if that makes sense you can listen to it here

Yeah, it sharing a name with an apple and frog is not really discrediting it in any way for me. If anything it makes it more interesting. Thanks for the link! I suppose my Anglo butchering of it would be "REN-et", which is really cute.
