Reinold is Germanic in Origin.
Reinold is a Germanic given name, deriving from Old High German Raginald (ragin “counsel, decision” + waltan “to rule”), yielding the sense “power through counsel” or “wise ruler.” Middle High German produced forms like Reinolt/Reinold, which survived alongside Latinized Reinoldus in medieval records.
The name saw steady use in the Rhineland and Low Countries; it is linked to the veneration of St. Reinoldus, namesake of Dortmund’s Reinoldikirche, and echoes the chivalric hero Renaud/Renout of Montauban in French and Dutch epics. Variants and cognates include Rainald/Reinald (medieval German), Reynold and Reginald (English), Reinhold (German), Reinout/Reinoud (Dutch), Renaud (French), Rinaldo (Italian), and Reinaldo (Spanish/Portuguese). Today Reinold feels distinctive yet traditional, grounded in the Germanic ideal that prudent counsel underpins rightful rule.
