Meaning & origin
Reginold is an uncommon spelling variant of Reginald, a name with deep Germanic roots meaning 'advice rule' or 'powerful ruler'. First recorded in the United States in 1930, the name reached its peak popularity in 1968, though it never entered the top 1000 names. Over the decades, its usage has remained stable, appearing only occasionally in birth records. While no top states have been associated with Reginold, its similarity to the more familiar Reginald gives it a traditional, scholarly feel. Parents drawn to vintage, less conventional names may appreciate Reginold's rarity and its connection to a distinguished lineage.
Reginold is a variant of Reginald, which comes from the Germanic name Raginald, composed of elements meaning 'advice' or 'counsel' and 'rule'. The name was introduced to England by the Normans and has been in use since the Middle Ages, though Reginold is a less common spelling that saw modest use in the 20th century.
