Renata is the feminine of Renatus — from the Latin renatus, meaning "reborn" or "born again." The name had Christian resonance, referring to spiritual rebirth through baptism.
Renata is widely used across Italy, Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. In the U.S. it has been rising steadily and sits in the top 500. The Polish opera singer Renata Tebaldi was a famous bearer.
Renata does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Renata reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
