About Renault
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.
Pronounced ruh-NO.
As of October 2026, Renault ranked #7076 in US births in 1983 SSA, peaked at #3234 in 1959.
