Meaning

feminine form of Latin Renatus, "reborn"

The story

Renata Tebaldi’s name appears on the poster for the reopening of a bomb-damaged La Scala. The Milan opera house had been seriously damaged by Allied bombing in August 1943. When the rebuilt theatre reopened on the eleventh of May 1946, Arturo Toscanini returned from the United States to conduct the concert. The surviving programme poster places Tebaldi among its soloists, singing the prayer from Rossini’s Mosè. Renata is the feminine form of the Latin Renatus, meaning born again or reborn, and belongs to Italian, Portuguese and Spanish naming traditions. Reborn happens to describe the theatre’s condition as well as the name’s meaning: the house had been reconstructed after the bombing. Tebaldi’s soloist credit places her within the larger company of musicians gathered for that return.

share of that year’s name registrations

First names given to children born in Poland by year of birth, 2000–2025, from the PESEL population register (Ministry of Digital Affairs); exact spellings count separately (Łukasz and Lukasz are different names), names given fewer than 5 times in a year were left off the list through 2012 and fewer than 2 times from 2013, and the register also counts children born abroad, so its yearly sums run above Poland’s live births.
