I did not know this but apparently Regina is latin for the queen. I used to have to do customer support to the US. I would say Regeena because if I said Regina, people would pause on the on the end thinking I had said the other word. I would also say we are located north of North Dakota instead of saying Saskatchewan and I can't say Zeee, I have to say Zed to americans.

jw6969 ...I talk to Americans all day, every day and have for 7 years. We do not say Re-geena nor do they pause or laugh when we say Re-gyna. A lot of Americans know of Saskatchewan, and often I hear people tell me they have been to our city. For those that have no clue where we are, I tell them that we are 90 mile north of north-eastern Montana (2/3 of Saskatchewan borders Montana. Just 1/3 borders North Dakota). And of course, you just learn to say Zee instead of Zed. I say Zee all the time regardless if it is an American or a Canuck I am talking with.
Anyway, this is all off topic, but yes, Regina is Latin for Queen. It is also the Italian word for Queen. Rex is Latin for King. Friday Fun Facts
