• Renate Reinsve — Norwegian actress (born 1992), winner of the Best Actress prize at the Cannes Film Festival 2021 for Joachim Trier's The Worst Person in the World — one of the most praised European films of recent years; her performance as Julie, a young woman navigating identity and love in Oslo, was described by critics as a career-defining breakthrough and one of the great screen performances of its decade.
• Renata Tebaldi — Italian operatic soprano (1922–2004), considered by many critics the definitive Verdi soprano of the 20th century; her rivalry with Maria Callas — two utterly different voices and temperaments — divided the opera world into passionate camps for a decade; she was admired by Arturo Toscanini and became one of the most beloved voices in post-war opera; Renate is the German form of her given name Renata.
• Renate Künast — German politician (born 1955), lawyer and co-leader of Alliance 90/The Greens (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, 2000–2002) and Federal Minister for Consumer Protection, Food and Agriculture (2001–2005); one of the most prominent women in German Green Party history and a significant figure in the development of German environmental and organic food policy.
• The theology of renatus (born again) — The Latin renatus and renata — the roots of Renate — entered Christian use from Jesus's words to Nicodemus in the Gospel of John (3:3–7): 'Unless one is born again (renatus), he cannot see the kingdom of God'; the term became standard for the newly baptised in the early Latin church, and naming a child Renata or Renate was an explicit baptismal statement; the same root gives French Renée and René, making the entire family of names one of the most theologically dense in Western naming tradition.
