as a First Name
French: from the Late Latin name Renatus ‘reborn’, used by early Christians as a baptismal name celebrating spiritual rebirth in Christ. It is found in the English-speaking world, especially North America, where it is usually written without the accent. It occurs occasionally as a girl's name, presumably a modified spelling of Renée or a short form of Irene and similar names.
