Meaning & Origin

A female given name from English.

Queenie is a girl's baby name of Old English origin, derived from the Old English cwēn, meaning 'woman, wife, queen.' Popular in Victorian and Edwardian England as an affectionate nickname for girls named Regina or simply as a pet name for the most beloved daughter, Queenie had nearly 4,000 recorded U.S. births. It's irreverent, warm, and unexpectedly stylish — particularly appealing to parents who love vintage nicknames with genuine regal swagger.
