Reginalds is in Origin.

Reginalds is the Latvian form of Reginald, adapted to the language’s masculine -s ending. The name goes back to a Germanic compound: ragin/ragn- “counsel, advice” + -wald “rule, power,” yielding the sense “ruler’s counsel” or “he who rules by wise counsel.” It reached England through Norman French (forms like Reinald, Regnaut, and Renaud) and settled as Reginald in Middle English. Cognates and variants include Reginald, Rainald, Reynold, Reinhold (German), Reinaldo/Reynaldo (Spanish and Portuguese), Rinaldo (Italian), and Renaud or Réginald in French; common English diminutives are Reg and Reggie.

The name was well established across medieval Europe - borne by figures such as Saint Reginald of Orléans and the legendary Saint Reinold of Dortmund - and enjoyed a revival in Britain during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. In Latvia, Reginalds serves as a precise, locally inflected equivalent of the classic pan-European name.
