Rene

Francophone boy's name

Rene is a given name, the French form of the Latin Renatus, meaning "reborn." In French-speaking countries it's traditionally masculine, while René with the accent appears for both men and women.

In English, Rene (often without the accent) has become common for women as well: Rene called to say she'd be late.

The name suggests renewal or rebirth.
