Raynhart is Germanic in Origin.

Raynhart is a rare modern English respelling of the medieval Germanic name Raginhart/Reinhart, from Old High German regin “counsel, divine decision” + hart “hardy, brave.” The meaning is commonly rendered “strong in counsel” or “brave adviser.” Through Middle High German Reinhart/Reinhard the name passed into Old French as Renart, which became Reynard in Middle English and the emblematic trickster fox of medieval fable, a link that also helped the name persist as a surname.

Usage clusters in German-speaking regions during the Middle Ages, with later prominence as the surnames Reinhardt, Reinhart, and Reinhard among Central European families and immigrants. Raynhart functions today as an uncommon given name and occasional surname variant in English-speaking countries. Related forms include Reinhard, Reinhart, Reinhardt, Reinart; English Reynard and Raynard; French Renard; Dutch Reinaert/Reynaert. Short forms include Rein and Ray. The spelling “-hart” may incidentally evoke the English hart (stag).
