Meaning & History
Rene is an English form of the French names René (masculine) or Renée (feminine). It derives from the Latin Renatus, meaning "born again", first used in Late Latin as a Christian name referring to spiritual rebirth through baptism.
Rene carries the same essential meaning as its French counterparts: being born again or reborn. In English-speaking countries, it has been used in both masculine and feminine forms. Notable bearers include sci-fi collector Rene Laloux, actress Rene Russo, and civil rights leader Rene R. Cruz. In recent times, an RNE pronunciation has been noted, echoing the French-named spirit.< /p>
