Reginhard is in Origin.
Reginhard is a compound Germanic name from Old High German regin/ragin “counsel, divine decision” + hard “strong, brave,” yielding the sense “strong in counsel” or “mighty through wise counsel.” The elements trace back to Proto‑Germanic *raginą and *harduz. The form appears in early medieval records across the Frankish and Bavarian spheres, borne by clerics and lay nobles; it is commonly Latinized in charters as Reginhardus, Ragenardus, or Regenhardus.
Over time the spelling shifted toward Reinhard/Reinhardt in German, with cognate or derivative forms Reinard, Reinart, Reinert, and Rainhard; in French the name developed into Renart/Reynard, later tied to the trickster fox of medieval literature, which dampened its use as a given name in France and England. Modern usage of the exact form Reginhard is rare, though historical revivals occur. Related diminutives include Rein and Reini; a feminine Reinharde is attested sporadically.
