What is the meaning of the name Reinhardts ?

Reinhardts is German in Origin.

Reinhardts is a Latvianized form of the German name Reinhardt/Reinhard, built from Old High German ragin "counsel, decision" and hart "hardy, brave." The traditional sense is "strong/brave in counsel" or "resolute advisor"; some folk etymology connects it with modern German rein "pure," but that is not the source.

Reinhardt and its variants were common in medieval and early modern German-speaking Europe; the fox trickster Reynard popularized a related form in French and English. Via Baltic German influence, the name entered Latvian, where final -t takes the nominative -ts. Related forms include Reinhard, Reinhardt, Reinard, Rainhard, Reynard, and Latvian Reinhards; short forms Rein, Reinis, and Hardy occur locally. Rare feminine counterparts are Reinharde/Reinharda.
