Rein: in french pertains to the kidneys

Rein in English also has meaning, and apparently in German as well.

It is pronounced "rang" and it is the French for "kidney". The word was also used with the same meaning in mediaeval English.
Rein is also the Germany word for "clean".

Rein means 'kidneys'.
Rien, which I think is what you meant, means 'nothing'.
