I am strictly asking about the true proper origins of the name. Née means, -born- in French, it’s a French verb. I do not believe ‘Nee’ means -born- in English. ‘Nee,’ would be essentially a French verb/word that is misspelled when you leave the accent out.

So I think you are incorrect in your belief that Renee is indeed an English name. Asking the true history buffs and orgin buffs. I realize that baby naming sites and very quick to accept the English ‘butchering’ of names that originated from other languages as official and true.

I know I may sound a little harsh, but I want to be clear on my puritan nature when it comes to the etymology of names. To me, it’s a butchered French name when the accent of left out. I’m looking for very researched proof to the contrary. Not subjective opinion.

Thanks!
