In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Reena (रीना) is an Indian girls' name of uncertain origin. Name lists give a spread of meanings, most often "gem" or "precious stone", and also "joyful", "song" and "melody". None of these could be traced to a Sanskrit or Hindustani dictionary. One suggested source is Sanskrit rīṇa, which Monier-Williams defines as melted, dissolved or vanished, but that is not how families understand the name. Rina is another spelling.
