Reinart is in Origin.
Reinart is a Germanic masculine name from the elements ragin ‘counsel, decision’ and hardu ‘brave, hardy,’ yielding the sense “brave in counsel” or “resolute advisor.” It descends from Old High German Raginhart, later Reinhart/Reinard, and in Low German and Dutch appears as Reinart/Reinaert. The name resonates in medieval literature: the crafty fox Renart/Reinaert of the beast epics made the form widely known, and in French the character’s name evolved into the common word renard for “fox.”
In use across the Holy Roman Empire and the Low Countries, Reinart and its cognates reached England via Anglo-Norman as Reynard. Modern bearers are rare, with the name more visible as a surname. Related variants include Reinhard, Reinard, Reinhart, Reinert, Reinhardt, Reynard (English), Renart (Old French), and Dutch Reinaert. Short forms such as Rein or Reini occur in German-speaking regions.
