Etymology
Regină comes from Latin regina, meaning queen, itself built on rex, regis, meaning king. The word passed into Romanian through ordinary Latin inheritance, alongside a parallel borrowing path shared with other Romance languages. It kept its core meaning of a female monarch and later extended to figurative uses like the queen piece in chess.
