What is the meaning of the name Reggie ?

The baby name Reggie is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced REG-ee (IPA: /ˈrɛdʒi/).

Reggie is in Origin.

Reggie is a bright, colloquial diminutive of Reginald, a name carried into English by the Normans from Latin Reginaldus, itself from Germanic elements ragin “counsel” and wald “rule.” It conveys the sense of “ruler’s counsel” or “wise in governance.” While most common as a nickname, Reggie now stands as an independent given name; in contemporary use it can also shorten Regina or Regan, lending it a modestly unisex profile.

In England, Reginald flourished from the Middle Ages, and Reggie surfaces in 19th-century records as a cheery pet form that suited Victorian and Edwardian tastes. The standalone Reggie rose in the 20th century, especially in the U.S., where athletes and entertainers reinforced its friendly, punchy appeal. Variants and short forms include Reg and Reggy; related international cognates of the root name are Reynold/Rainald (English), Renaud (French), Reynaldo/Reginaldo (Spanish/Portuguese), and Rinaldo (Italian).
