Meaning & origin
Reinhart is a strong, traditional German name that has seen very limited use in the United States, reflecting stable but low popularity over decades. First recorded on Social Security lists in 1907, it peaked in that very same year, with its highest-ever rank of 12,008th. The 1-in-341,615 incidence in 2025 indicates it remains an uncommon choice. The name is part of a family of Germanic 'counsel-brave' names and has lingered at the fringes of American naming culture rather than rising or falling dramatically.
Reinhart is a German name derived from the elements 'ragin' meaning 'counsel' or 'advice' and 'hard' meaning 'brave' or 'strong'. It is a variant of Reinhard, and has been in use in German-speaking regions since the Middle Ages. The name is borne by several historical figures in Germany.
