 Once Upon A Time Name Meanings & Trivia [2/8] ↔ Regina Mills

Regina (Latin): Queen
Mills: - Possible connection to the Latin prefix Mal- meaning Evil. Which literally translates to ’Evil Queen’
          - Possible connection to the fact that Regina’s mother might have been the miller’s daughter mentioned in Brothers Grimm’s story: Rumpelstiltskin.
          - Could also be connected to ‘A Tale of Two Cities’. The job of the mill is to grind wheat for people, but in the story, it is taken as a reference to ‘grinding people’ and symbolises destruction. 

Trivia:

  • In a weird way, Regina is Henry’s great-grandmother (by marriage)

Lana Parrilla tweeted about an independent film project about queer teen suicide.  Using her star power to bring awareness to important issues like this…makes me wish I could vote for her more than once a day in the Afterellen Hot 100.
