What is the meaning of the name Reno ?

The baby name Reno is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced REE-no (English, /ˈriːnoʊ/),REH-no (Italian/Spanish, /ˈreno/ or /ˈrɛno/).

Reno is English, Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Reno is a masculine given name with two main sources. In Italian it serves as a clipped form of Renato ("reborn," from Latin Renatus) and, via the nickname Renzo, can stand in for Lorenzo. In North America it also functions as a place-inspired name from Reno, Nevada, which honors Union general Jesse L. Reno; his Huguenot surname reflects French Renaud, from Germanic ragin "counsel" + wald "rule."

Used in Italy as an affectionate short form in the 20th century, Reno appears in U.S. records from the late 1800s with small mid-century bumps and a rugged, Western aura. Related forms and variants include Rene/Renee, Renatus/Renata, Renato, Renzo, Rino, Ren, and Renaud (Reynold). Depending on the line of transmission, the meaning is either "reborn" or "ruler's counsel."
