Renault Origin and Meaning

The name Renault is a boy's name of French origin.

Renault is a masculine name with French origins, derived from the Germanic name Raginald, composed of the elements 'ragin' (counsel) and 'wald' (rule). While more commonly recognized as a prominent French automobile manufacturer founded by Louis Renault in 1898, Renault can also serve as a surname or given name. As a first name, it is quite rare in modern usage. The name carries connotations of French heritage, sophistication, and innovation due to its strong association with the automobile brand. In medieval France, variations of this name were more common among nobility, though today it represents a distinctive and uncommon choice for parents seeking a name with French flair and historical depth.
