Reggy is in Origin.

Reggy is a modern, phonetic twist on Reggie, the familiar short form of Reginald. Reginald comes via Latin Reginaldus and Norman French from a Germanic compound of ragin “counsel” and wald “rule,” yielding the sense “power through counsel” or “one who rules wisely.” Brought to England by the Normans, Reginald and its kin thrived in medieval records, later ebbing before a Victorian revival that cemented Reggie as an easygoing nickname.

Reggy keeps that approachable feel while offering a distinctive spelling; it appears in English-speaking countries from the mid-20th century onward and reads as informal, sporty, and friendly. Close variants include Reggie, Reggi, and Reg; related forms are Reynold/Reynolds, Renaud (French), Rinaldo (Italian), Reinaldo/Renaldo (Spanish/Portuguese), and Reinhold (Germanic). Though typically masculine, Reggy sometimes serves as a playful short form for Regina or Regan, giving it occasional unisex use.
