Reynold Meaning

From the Germanic name Raginald, composed of the elements ragin "advice" and wald "rule". The Normans (who used forms like Reinald or Reinold) brought the name to Britain, where it reinforced rare Old English and Norse cognates already in existence. It was common during the Middle Ages, but became more rare after the 15th century. Reynold is an English name, derived from the Old Germanic words "ragin", which means "advice or counsel", and "wald" which means "to rule".
