Reginald is in Origin.
Reginald descends from the Germanic Raginwald (ragin ‘counsel’ + wald ‘rule’), transmitted through medieval Latin Reginaldus and introduced to England by the Normans. The name therefore carries the sense of ‘ruler’s counsel,’ ‘power through counsel,’ or ‘wise ruler.’
In medieval Britain it appeared as Rainald/Raynald, borne by nobles and bishops; usage waned after the Middle Ages but revived in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when Reg and Reggie became common. Variants and cognates include Reynold, Renaud (French), Reginaldo/Reynaldo/Reinaldo (Romance), Reinhold and Rainald (German), with Norse Ragnvald/Rögnvaldr as a close cognate. Rex sometimes serves as a nickname by association with Latin rex ‘king.’
