ArchivesRe: Is Rena a hebrew name? / Phyllis = Felicia !?
in reply to a message by asujakin
As an Israeli and Hebrew speaker, I can say for sure that Rena is not a Hebrew name however it might be derived from/An English take of the name Hebrew name Reena/Rina (spelled like רינה) in Hebrew meaning "Joy, singing" (However the chance is very low)
Rena has never been a common transcription variant here in Israel nor have I heard of it in Jewish communities outside so I doubt that Rena is a variant of Reena or related to that name but again this is my subjective observation and speculation
(and that's coming from a person who spends a lot of time on this website and reading about names from various sources I trust, names are my hyperfixation)
