Rennie and Dupree
I'd like to know what names Rennie can be a nn for - Reginald?
I'd also like to know what the name Dupree means. It's a boys' name and I've only seen it used in the USA.

Me: "Did you know that the Hawaiian word for a kind of lava stream is AAA?"
H: "Because that's what you scream when it's coming towards you....?"

Theoretically Rennie could be a pet form of any name that contains the syllable "ren".
Dupree is from the French surname Dupre, which according to Hanks & Hodges's A Dictionary of Surnames simply meant "by the meadow".

Rennie could be a nickname for any name with ren in it. Reginald also makes sense.
Dupree is a French surname, that according to a source I found is thought to mean "dweller in a meadow." That makes sense to me too, since pré means meadow. So du pré would be of the meadow.
