Proto-Italic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Presumably metathesized from earlier *rēgnīā, rebuilt as an ā-stem from Proto-Indo-European *h₃rḗǵnih₂, cognate with Proto-Celtic *rīganī (“queen”), Sanskrit राज्ञी (rā́jñī, “queen”).[1] Perhaps influenced by or alternatively from *rēks ~ *rēges (“king”) + *-īnā (“belonging to”), compare Latin gallīna (“hen”) from gallus (“cock, rooster”).[2]
