Renalds is Germanic, Latin in Origin.

Renalds is a rare given name shaped from an English patronymic surname, ultimately tracing to the medieval personal name Reynold/Rainald. That name descends from Old High German Raginald (ragin “counsel, decision” + wald “rule, power”), conveying the sense “mighty through counsel” or “ruler’s advice.”

The base form came to England with the Normans and flourished in the Middle Ages; over time, spellings such as Reynold, Renald, and the patronymic Renalds/Reynolds solidified as hereditary surnames. Used today as a first name, Renalds follows the modern fashion for distinctive surname choices while retaining venerable roots. Related variants and cognates include Renald, Reynold, Reynolds (also used as a given name), Reginald, Rainald, Reinhold (German), Renaud (French), Reynaldo/Reinaldo (Spanish/Portuguese), and Rinaldo (Italian).
