How do you pronounce it?

Rene

Did you know?

  • If written as 瑠音, the name uses 'ateji' to transform a foreign sound into meanings like 'lapis lazuli' and 'sound'.
  • In Japanese pop culture, names ending in 'ne' like ルネ are often associated with a soft or melodic image because 音 (ne) is the word for 'sound'.
  • Because Japanese syllables are strictly structured, the 'r' in ルネ is produced by a flick of the tongue that is a hybrid between the English 'r', 'l', and 'd'.
