What Rehina means
Where Rehina comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Rehina is the Ukrainian voice of a name that Poles also know as Regina. The variant sits close, one vowel and one softened consonant away. The short meaning crosses the border without trouble: queen, królowa in Polish, a word that has followed the name back toward its roots in Hebrew.
For the people who bear it, that meaning has worked less as a boast than as a standard to answer to. A Rehina on the class register in a Polish school reads as familiar and slightly foreign at once, the h standing where a g might have stood.
Regina, the closer variant, turns up on Latin inscriptions and in the Church calendar. Rehina keeps a step to the east of it. Same royal sense, different mouth. The name says królowa, and it does so with a Ukrainian h.
