Hi!
Reenstine / Renstine is an East Frisian name. It's a further development of forms like e.g. Rensche, Rensje, Rensk, Renske, Renskea, Reenste, Renste, Rentje, Reentje.
They all come from Old High German names starting with Rein- (like Reinhild, Reinburg, Reinfriede, Reingard etc.). "Rein" means "counsel, guiding gods".
Reenstine can also be a combination of one of these above mentioned Reen-/Ren- names and names ending with -stine like Ernestine, Christine, Kerstine or Justine.
Regards, Satu
