Reginald Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Teutonic) the Old Teutonic Reginwald, Raginwald (Mod. Ger. Rein(w)ald), Regenw(e)ald, etc. = Mighty or Godlike Power [v. under Rainbird, and + Old Saxon gi)wald = O.H.Ger. gi)walt = Old English ge)w(e)ald = Old Norse uald, power, might] Regenwald, Reginwald, or Reginald, was the name of a Northumbrian king mentioned, e.g., by Simeon of Durham under a.d. 912. Dr. Kleinpaul (‘Die Deutschen Personennamen,’ 1909), who imagines that the German Reinhold is from Reinwald (!), goes (p. 39) with somewhat superfluous detail into the signification of the latter name — Reinwald beruht wieder auf Reginwald, und ist ein Name für einen fähigen, mit Klugheit seines Amtes waltenden Gemeindevorstand.
Cp. Reynold.
