A Spanish form of Isabel, which arose in medieval Iberia and Provence as a variant of Elizabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheva 'my God is an oath' (or 'God is abundance'). It became a royal name in Spain, Portugal and England.
The Spanish word 'reina' means 'queen', descending from Latin 'regina'. Also spelled Reyna. (A separate Hebrew/Yiddish name Reina meaning 'pure' exists; the Spanish 'queen' sense is the relevant one here.)
Isabela and Reina are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Isabela means God is my oath (spanish origin), while Reina means queen (spanish origin).
In US records, Isabela first appears in 0 and Reina in 0, so Isabela has the longer recorded history.
