Did you know?

  • In Japanese, the name ルネ can be associated with the 'Renaissance' period, which is called ルネサンス ('runesansu').
  • While ルネ is a phonetic transcription, a Japanese person might choose kanji characters like 瑠音 to give the name a meaning such as 'lapis lazuli sound'.
  • In Japanese, there is no distinction between the 'r' and 'l' sounds, so the 'r' in 'renee' is pronounced with a flick of the tongue, similar to a Spanish 'r'.
