History & Origin
Rogena most plausibly respells Regina, from the Latin regina, 'queen'; a second possibility ties it to Rogene, a coined feminine of Roger. The soft-g sound points back to Regina. We frame the route as likely rather than certain.
Rogena appeared mid-century and reached a modest high around 1960 before fading. It reads as a period variant — regal in root if Regina is the source — and is not part of a current revival.
