Reinhilda Origin and Meaning

The name Reinhilda is a girl's name of German origin.

Reinhilda is a feminine Germanic name combining the elements 'regin' meaning 'counsel' or 'power,' and 'hild' meaning 'battle' or 'conflict.' This powerful combination creates a name that historically conveyed the image of a wise warrior or battle counselor. Popular during medieval times in Germanic regions of Europe, Reinhilda has become quite rare in modern usage. The name carries an air of ancient nobility and strength, evoking images of Valkyries and shield-maidens from Norse and Germanic mythology. Despite its rarity today, Reinhilda might appeal to parents interested in names with historical depth, strong meanings, and Germanic heritage. Its traditional feminine strength offers an alternative to more commonly used Germanic names.
