Reginold as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Reginold

What is the meaning of the name Reginold ?

The baby name Reginold is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈrɛdʒɪnɒld/ (REJ-in-old).

Reginold is Germanic in Origin.

Reginold is a rare medieval-English spelling of Reginald, ultimately from Latin Reginaldus, which Latinized a West Germanic name built from ragin “counsel, decision” + wald “rule, power.” Cognate with Old Norse Rögnvaldr and Germanic Raginald, it conveys the sense “power through counsel” or “ruler advised by wisdom.” The form Reginold reflects scribal medieval variants (Reginoldus/Reginaldus) found in Norman and English charters after 1066, when the Normans popularized the name in Britain.

Usage peaked in the 12th–14th centuries, waned, and enjoyed a genteel revival in the 19th–early 20th century; Reginold itself remains uncommon. Diminutives include Reggie and Reg. Close variants and cognates include Reginald, Reynold, Rainald/Raynald, and the international forms Renaud (French), Reinaldo/Reynaldo (Spanish/Portuguese), Rinaldo (Italian), and Reinold (German). Note that Reinhold, though similar, ends in -hold “brave” and is a related but distinct name.
