Reginald is a masculine given name in the English language. ==Etymology and history== The name is derived from the Latin ''Reginaldus'', which has been influenced by the Latin word ''regina'', meaning "queen". This Latin name is a Latinisation of a Germanic language name. This Germanic name is composed of two elements: the first ''ragin'', meaning "advice", "counsel",〔 "decision";〔 the second element is ''wald'', meaning "rule",〔 "ruler".〔 The Old German form of the name is ''Raginald''; Old French forms are ''Reinald'' and ''Reynaud''. Forms of this Germanic name were first brought to the British Isles by Scandinavians, in the form of the Old Norse ''Rögnvaldr''. This name was later reinforced by the arrival of the Normans in the 11th century, in the Norman forms ''Reinald'' and ''Reynaud''.〔 which cited: for the surname "Reynold".〕 The Latin ''Reginaldus'' was used as a Latin form of cognate names, such as the Old Norse ''Rögnvaldr'', and the Gaelic ''Ragnall'' and ''Raghnall''. Another French form, ''Renouard'', was introduced by the Visigoths.〔(House of Names: Renouard )〕 By the 18th and 19th centuries, the alternate spelling ''Renoir'' also came into use. 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「Reginald (given name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
