In the Middle Ages, the name Renee gained popularity as a feminine form, particularly in France. It was widely used among the French nobility and aristocracy, with several notable historical figures bearing the name. One of the earliest recorded examples is Renée of France (1510-1575), the daughter of King Louis XII and Anne of Brittany.
