Regnault

Regnault is a masculine French name of Germanic origin, derived from 'Raginald,' combining elements meaning 'advice' or 'counsel' and 'power' or 'ruler.' It's essentially a traditional French variant of Reginald or Ronald. With deep historical roots, Regnault appeared in medieval France among nobility and has persisted through generations, though it remains relatively uncommon today. The name carries an aristocratic air and old-world charm that distinguishes it from more common variants. Its pronunciation (roughly ren-YO) may present challenges outside French-speaking regions, but this distinctive quality appeals to parents seeking a name with historical depth and European sophistication. Regnault offers a compelling alternative for those drawn to traditional names with a continental flair.

Pronounced reg-NO.
