''Ragnall'', ''Raghnall'', ''Raonall'', and ''Raonull'' are masculine personal names or given names in several Gaelic languages. ''Ragnall'' occurs in Old Irish, and Middle Irish/Middle Gaelic. It is a Gaelicised form of the Old Norse ''Røgnvaldr'', ''Rǫgnvaldr'', ''Rögnvaldr''.〔 This Old Norse name is composed of two elements: ''regin'', meaning "advice", "decision"; and ''valr'', meaning "ruler".〔 It has also been suggested that ''Ragnall'' could also represent the Old Norse ''Ragnarr'' as well. ''Ragnall'' can be Anglicised as ''Ranald'', and Latinised as ''Reginald'', ''Reginaldus''.〔 A more modern form of ''Ragnall'' in Irish and Scottish Gaelic is ''Raghnall''; another modern form is the Irish ''Raonull''. Anglicised forms of ''Raghnall'' include: ''Ranald'', ''Randal'', ''Rannal'', and ''Ronald''. Note that while ''Randal'' is commonly used as an Anglicised form of the Gaelic name, it is etymologically unrelated. The final ''-ll'' sound of the Gaelic names are de-vocalized, and to non-Gaelic-speakers this suggests ''-d'' sound. In this way the name is similar to the various forms of the Gaelic ''Domhnall'', which can be Anglicised as ''Donald''. ==List of cognates== *Danish: ''Ragnvald''〔 *English: ''Ranald'',〔 ''Reginald'', ''Reynold'', ''Ronald''〔 *French: ''Reynaud'' *German: ''Reinhold'' *Italian: ''Rinaldo'' *Latin: ''Reginald'', ''Reginaldus'' *Norwegian: ''Ragnvald''〔 *Old French: ''Reinald'', ''Reynaud'' *Old German: ''Raginald'' *Old Norse: ''Røgnvaldr'', ''Rǫgnvaldr'', ''Rögnvaldr'' *Swedish: ''Ragnvald'' *Welsh: ''Rheinallt'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ragnall, Raghnall, and Raonull (names)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
