Regina means "queen" in Latin (or Italian). It was in use as a Christian name from early times, and was borne by a 2nd-century saint. In England it was used during the Middle Ages in honour of the Virgin Mary, and it was later revived in the 19th century. A city in Canada bears this name, in honour of Queen Victoria.
Saintly namesake: Saint Regina was a 3rd-century virgin martyr venerated for her steadfast faith. She is the best-known saint with this name. (September 7 · 3rd century)
