Reiner Origin and Meaning
The name Reiner is a boy's name.
Reiner is a traditional German masculine name derived from the Germanic elements 'ragin' meaning 'counsel' and 'heri' meaning 'army' or 'warrior.' Its origins date back to medieval Germany, where it was often spelled as Rainer or Reginhar. The name carries connotations of wisdom in battle and strong leadership. Reiner gained moderate popularity throughout German-speaking countries and has remained a steady, classic choice there. Outside of Germanic regions, the name is less common but recognized, particularly in areas with German heritage. In recent decades, Reiner has maintained its traditional appeal without becoming overly popular in international naming trends.
