The origin of the name Rienette is probably Danish. Could be a variation of the Danish name Renette. Rienette is a diminutive of Riena, which is a variation of Rina or Reina. Meaning in Latin: queenly, in Hindi: Queen.

Of course Rina can also be a short form of all names that end with –rina, like: Marina, Catharina, Irina (Irene) etc.

By the way: the name and spelling Rienette really exists.
