History & Origin

Queena is built straight on the English word queen, softened with an -a ending. The word itself comes from Old English cwen, which originally meant simply 'woman; wife' before it narrowed to the royal sense. Queena belongs with the regal word-names — Queen, Reign, Royalty — that have gained ground in American naming. It is a word-name, plainly, and we note it as such (said 'KWEE-nuh').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, regal, and word-simple.

Did you know? The Old English cwen behind 'queen' once meant simply 'woman' or 'wife' — the royal sense came later.
