Very pretty name with lovely meaning, and although it is unique in America, it is incredibly common in Mexico. my cousin named her daughter Renata and it was Number 9 in 2013 in Mexico and could almost become a mom name in 20-40 years so please take caution if you are in Latin America.
I live in the Untied States and my name is Renata. My father is from Croatia and is named Renato, the male version of the name. I was named this because before my father was born his grandmother thought Renata would be a nice name for a girl. Well, he was a boy so they named him Renato. While my mother was pregnant with me she thought it too was a lovely name and decided to name me Renata. I absolutely love my name and the beauty of it and its meaning. This name is more than just letters put together in my opinion, it is a beautiful message.

In Woody Allen's "Interiors" (1978), Diane Keaton's character is called Renata. Since this is my name (but I'm from Brazil and it's really popular here) and since I'm a huge fan of his work, I wonder why he decided to give such an unusual name for the character. Usually, in English-speaking countries, Renée is the most popular variant.
This is a beautiful name. I love the way it rolls off the tongue, and I love the meaning "born again." And the fact it isn't popular doesn't hurt either!
Renata Volturi is one of the Volturi guard in the Twilight novels. She, like all Volturi, has a special power - she can mentally repel people that cross her path.
I have never heard of an English-speaking person having this name, but I like it. Considering it means "re-born" or "born-again" I'm surprised that more people don't have it what with all the evangelicals in this country.
Renata Linguini is the name of Linguini's mother in the Pixar movie Ratatouille.

I came from an Italian family and I was named after Renata Tebaldi. Oh, and an interesting fact: Renata is one of the most popular names registered in Brazil in the late 70's / early 80's.
