MEANING & HISTORY
What does Regine mean?
Regine is a German and Norwegian form of Regina. Regina is the Latin queen-word used as a personal name.
The final e adapts that inherited form rather than contributing another meaning. Christian devotional and royal associations may motivate families, but the word’s history does not grant a bearer a royal title.
