Reinold Origin and Meaning

The name Reinold is a boy's name.

Reinold is a masculine name of Germanic origin, a variant of Reinhold, which combines the elements 'ragin' meaning 'counsel' or 'decision' and 'wald' meaning 'rule' or 'power.' This powerful name has ancient roots and was borne by several medieval nobles and saints. While the Reinhold variant gained more widespread use, particularly in Germanic countries, Reinold has remained less common. The name traveled across Europe during the Middle Ages but never achieved great popularity in English-speaking countries. Today, Reinold is considered a vintage name with historic depth, occasionally chosen by parents with Germanic heritage or those attracted to its strong meaning and traditional character.
