Reginald (given name)

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.

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. By the 18th and 19th centuries, the alternate spelling Renoir also came into use.

Reginald (Bishop of the Isles)

Reginald (died circa 1226) was an early 13th-century Bishop of the Isles. According to the Chronicle of Mann, he was related to the Crovan dynasty, the royal family of the Kingdom of the Isles. The chronicle specifically states that he was the son of a sister of Olaf Godredsson, King of the Isles (died 1237).

In 1217, with the death of Nicholas, Bishop of the Isles (died 1217), two candidates vied for the vacant position—Reginald and Nicholas, Abbot of Furness. Although the monks of Furness Abbey had elected Nicholas as Bishop of the Isles, as was their right, Nicholas received opposition from the ruling family of the Isles, and never occupied the see.
