Etymology: "Reginas" is the plural of "regina", the Latin word for "queen". Latin "regina" is the feminine form of "rex", "king", and comes from the same root as "regere", "to rule" or "to direct". In the plural, "reginas" is simply the form used for more than one queen, so it appears in writing about several queens or in Latin phrases referring to multiple women of royal rank.
