Meaning & Origin
A female given name.
Raina is a girl's baby name of Slavic origin, from the Slavic raina meaning "queen" — a word related to the Sanskrit rani (queen) and used as a name across Bulgaria, Serbia, and other Slavic countries. It also functions as a variant of Rain or Reina.
Raina has a soft, regal quality — the meaning of queen carried in just two gentle syllables. Its cross-cultural roots (Slavic queen, nature imagery of rain, Spanish reina) give it a rare universality, and its flowing sound works equally well in formal settings and everyday affection.
