Renée-Paule

Renée-Paule is a compound French name, combining Renée and Paule. Renée is derived from the Latin 'renatus', meaning 'reborn' or 'born again', and has been used as a given name since the Middle Ages, gaining popularity particularly after the Protestant Reformation among those who felt 'reborn' in faith. Paule is the feminine form of Paul, from the Roman family name Paulus, meaning 'small' or 'humble'. The combination of two distinct names into a hyphenated form is a common practice in French naming traditions, often used to honor multiple family members or to create a unique identity.
