Regner Origin and Meaning

The name Regner is a boy's name.

Regner is a masculine name of Old Norse origin, derived from 'Ragnarr,' composed of elements meaning 'advice' or 'counsel' and 'warrior' or 'army.' Historically associated with the legendary Viking hero Ragnar Lodbrok, this name carries strong connotations of leadership, wisdom, and strength. Regner has maintained steady, though limited, usage in Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark and Norway. Outside of Scandinavia, it remains quite rare, offering a distinctive choice with authentic Norse heritage. The name's connection to Viking history gives it a powerful cultural resonance, while its pronunciation - typically REG-ner - provides a straightforward yet distinctive sound pattern that works well across multiple languages.
