Reynardo blends medieval French Reynard with the Spanish/Portuguese Reynaldo/Reinaldo, giving a suave -o ending while preserving deep Germanic roots. Those roots trace to ragin “counsel, decision” plus either hard “brave, strong” (as in Reinhard/Reynard) or wald “rule, power” (as in Reynaldo/Reinaldo).
