Rene

Traditionally understood as ‘reborn’ or ‘born again’.

Rene is a classic name in French-language usage, often seen with the accent as René. In many contexts the accent is omitted in plain-text systems, which is why you may see both spellings in documents and databases. The name is traditionally traced to French René, ultimately from Latin "Renatus", commonly glossed as ‘reborn’ or ‘born again’. This is a well-known etymology, but the everyday cultural feel of the name can vary by country and by whether the accent is used. Pronunciation in English is often given as ruh-NAY. A practical tip is to consider whether you want the accented spelling René in formal contexts, since it can affect how people guess the pronunciation at first glance.

Etymology: French René, from Latin "Renatus" meaning ‘reborn’; the accented form René is common in French orthography.
