Trena

Meaning of Trena

Trena is a warm, melodic choice for a little girl—pronounced TREH-nuh—born from the same family as Trina and ultimately tracing back to Katherine’s Greek roots, with that timeless meaning of “pure.” Though it never stormed the top of the charts, Trena quietly appeared in Michigan birth records throughout the 1960s and early ’70s (six to eleven babies a year between 1967 and 1974), giving it a gentle, vintage charm. It’s the kind of name that feels like discovering a secret garden in your own backyard—familiar yet delightfully unexpected. For parents who want something friendly, sincere, and a bit under the radar, Trena offers a simple elegance and room for any little girl to grow into her own bright story.
