[ˈkwiːni]Meaning

Background Story
Queenie is an affectionate or pet use of the term "queen", derived from the word "quean", meaning "woman", rather than from the monarch or his wife. As a first name it can also mean "royal lady" or "ruler", and it is used as a pet name for a girl who shares her first name with a queen. It was a popular name during the Victorian era in the British Empire, and was once very popular in London's East End.
