Well spotted sir !

Have heard Regina used several times in respect of Queen Victoria, but never thought abt it's meaning (Latin for Queen, reigning monarch), and I certainly never realised it was used as a name. I guess it might even be used as a female version of Reginald ?

Sometimes pronouced "Rejaina", so can easily believe it becoming Jane in a shortened/pet form, or if misheard by a census official or suchlike.
