Name days (angel’s day)
The name Regina is not in the Orthodox church calendar.
A name day is the feast of the saint after whom a person was baptised. If several saints share the name, custom is to celebrate the first feast after the birthday. Shown here are the main feasts in the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church, with civil (Gregorian) dates.
Character by tradition
Name descriptions paint Regina as a proud, decisive and independent nature. She likes to come first. She can be domineering. Her strength is self-confidence.
Name numerology
Letters of the name Regina («Регина») in the Russian 1–9 table: Р 9 + Е 6 + Г 4 + И 1 + Н 6 + А 1 = 27 → 9. The sum is reduced to one digit; the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept.
Name number 9 — service and breadth. Nine is the number of completion: compassion, a broad view, readiness to help. Such a name wants to be useful to many; the weak spot is giving oneself away.
Vowels give the soul number 8 (power and achievement), consonants the personality number 1 (will and leadership). Inner motive: power and achievement; outer manner: will and leadership. Such a gap is not bad in itself: others see one side, close people know the other.
In Slavic Cyrillic numerals (using the modern spelling of the name): Р=100 + Е=5 + Г=3 + И=8 + Н=50 + А=1 = 167, reduced to 5. Letters that had no numeric value are skipped. This is an additional digit, not a second name number: meanings for the Cyrillic numerals were added in the 20th century, modeled on Western numerology.

First letter and letters of the name
In letter reading — a popular tradition of interpreting letters — the first letter of the name matters most: it sets the main tone of character. The other letters add shades.

Other letters: Е — self-expression; Г — thirst for knowledge; И — refinement and kindness; Н — strong character and protest; А — beginning and action.
