Meaning & origin
Raynold is a rare masculine given name that saw minimal usage in the United States. First recorded in 1912, its peak year was also 1912, the same year it first appeared in Social Security data. The name has not been among the top 1000 since the early 20th century. Its trajectory has been stable but negligible, with no significant revival in later decades. No top states were recorded for Raynold, indicating its usage was too sporadic to be concentrated geographically.
Raynold is a variant of Reynold, which itself comes from the Old Germanic name Raginald, composed of 'ragin' (advice) and 'wald' (rule). The name was introduced to England by the Normans in forms like Reinald and Reynold. It has seen occasional use in English-speaking countries, particularly in the early 20th century.
