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.
