Alternate Possible Female Monarchs

A foreign female monarch of a republic? The plot thickens:D

Wouldn't have to be foreign; there are other Chinese languages than Mandarin. For that matter, it could be the result of alternate language development such that it is a valid alt-Mandarin syllable.

Foreign-ness is most likely, though, given the given name "Christina".

Usually we transliterate the names of Han Chinese born in China proper in Mandarin Pinyin regardless of where they came from, and we have way more "bad made-up name" than "alt-linguistic developememt", so pardon me if I jumped to the wrong conclusion too quickly.

Actually, it seems that Chinese people prefer to adopt a Christian/English name than to transliterate their names into another language, so it's possible for a (likely Christian) monarch to have a Latin name towards Europeans.

While Chinese women don't and didn't take their husbands' surname upon marriage, it may be possible if a non-Chinese woman marries a Chinese, e.g. Faina, though it's adopting an entirely Chinese name, not just the surname.
 
Katherine Grey, sister of Jane. Married to Edward Seymour. When Elizabeth almost died from smallpox in 1562, the privy council prepared to proclaim her queen.
 
Charlotte, Princess Royal

Charlotte, Princess Royal, was the eldest daughter of King George III of England. She was also the eldest child. Thus if the eldest child of the monarch could succeed, Charlotte would be Queen Regnant Charlotte.
 
Queen Sophia of England

Sophia Dorothea of England (1687-1757) was the only daughter of King George I of England.
If her older brother George (King George II) predeceased their father, King George I, Sophia Dorothea could have been Queen Regnant Sophia.

Queen Mathilde of Westphalia

The Kingdom of Westphalia existed from 1807 to 1813. Jerome I was King of Westphalia between 1807 and 1813.
Jerome and Queen Catharina (Catherine) were the parents of Prince Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul and Princess Mathilde. Suppose Westphalia remains a kingdom. Suppose Jerome Bonaparte was King until 1860.
Suppose his son, Prince Napoleon Joseph predeceases him, unmarried and without children.
Mathilde could become Queen Regnant.
 
Sovereign Princess Florestine of Monaco

Princess Florestine (1833-1897) was the sister of Charles III, Prince of Monaco.
Charles died in 1889.
If he had died childless, his sister succeeds as the Sovereign Princess Florestine.
 
Queen Regnant Hedvig Sophia of Sweden

Princess Hedvig Sophia was the eldest child of King Charles XI and Queen Ulrica Eleanor of Sweden. She lived 1681 to 1708.
She was heiress presumptive to the Swedish throne until 1708.
Her brother was King Charles XII. He reigned 1697 to 1718.
Suppose Charles XII died in 1700. Princess Hedvig Sophia could become Queen Regnant Hedvig Sophia.
 
Tsarina Yevdokia Alekseevna of Russia

Tsarevna Yvedokia Alekseevna (1650-1712) was the oldest daughter of Tsar Alexis I of Russia and his wife Maria Miloslavskaya.
Suppose Alexis had only married Maria and had all daughters. Upon his demise in 1676, his oldest daughter would become Tsarina Yevdokia.
 
If the Germanies had abolished the Salic Law, we would have much more female monarchs. One example:
- Queen Frederica of Prussia, the oldest daughter of Frederick William II of Prussia
