Reginauld is Germanic in Origin.

Reginauld is an archaic byform of Reginald, ultimately from the Germanic elements ragin “counsel” and wald “rule, power.” Via Norman French Reinald/Reynald and its Latinized clerical form Reginaldus, the name settled into English as Reginald; the spelling Reginauld reflects a cross between the Latin stem and Anglo-Norman endings. Meaning centers on “ruler’s counsel” or “one who rules with wise advice.”

Brought to England by the Normans after 1066, the name appears in medieval rolls and episcopal lists, later enjoying revival in the 18th–20th centuries (with Reggie as a familiar diminutive). International variants include Reginald (English), Reynold/Reynald and Renaud (French), Reinold/Reinoldus (German/Dutch), Rinaldo (Italian), Reinaldo/Reynaldo (Spanish/Portuguese), and Reginaldo (Italian/Spanish). Feminine forms include Reginalda and Reinalda. Today Reginauld is exceedingly rare, lending a distinguished, antiquarian twist to a classic with deep European pedigree.
