Help[Facts] Rena (Rana,Rina, Renana,...)
in reply to a message by asujakin
According to "Bible Baby Names - Spiritual Choices from Judeo-Christian Tradition" by Anita Diamant Rana, Rona, Roni and Rina are names of Hebrew origine and mean "joy" or "song".
I know that the name Renana is used in Israel. Someone added the name with the meaning "singing". I did read a musical meaning for that name in reliable name books before.

My name is Rana Rochelle Hinton and I’m from Hattiesburg MS and mostly New Augusta MS , in Perry County. And my name is very odd in the US. And I work in Medicare and Medicaid and in 2 years of taking calls as a csr , in the entire United States, 70-100 a day for 2 years , I’ve never heard of anyone who had my exact name with my exact spelling. It’s odd and I would love to know more. I read once my name RANA means “song of the Lord”. But what does that mean in full?

It’s a very very common Arabic first name meaning and Indian or Malaysian surname or male name first name. Im Palestinian and my name is Rana and it’s very common amongst Arabs. In Arabic it means beautiful, eye-catching

That's right, and you can add Ronit and Rinat, and Ran, Ronen and Ron for boys to the list. (BTW, Renana is a lot less common in Israel than Rina, Roni and Ronit.)
What's interesting is that the Hebrew word in the link the original poster gave was Rina, not Rena - pronounced REE-na. Reh-na is not used as a Hebrew name at all that I know of. (+ I couldn't find it in any Hebrew name lists, nor does Google give any hits for Rena as a name.)
The only Israeli Rena I know is a woman who uses it as a variant of Renee.
