Renata

Origin and meaning of Renata

Renata is the feminine of Renato, from the Latin renatus, 'reborn, regenerated,' with a clear Christian reference to spiritual rebirth through baptism. A name with a positive, auspicious meaning, it is common in Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic, Brazil and Germany. Made illustrious by great sopranos such as Renata Tebaldi, it corresponds to French Renée and German Renate. Its full, elegant sound makes it a refined classic — always current, never common.
