Regginald

Regginald is a variant spelling of the traditional name Reginald, which originated from the Old Germanic name Raginald, composed of elements meaning 'advice' and 'power' or 'ruler.' This alternative spelling with double 'g' emerged in recent decades as parents sought to create distinctive variations of classic names. While less common than the traditional spelling, Regginald maintains the same dignified character and potential for the friendly nickname 'Reggie.' The name has historical associations with nobility across Europe, particularly in England. Regginald carries a formal, somewhat distinguished quality while still being approachable and warm, especially in its shortened forms.

Pronounced REJ-uh-nald.

As of October 2026, Regginald ranked #7939 in US births in 1997 SSA, peaked at #3475 in 1967.
