In Domesday there are recorded Reinbald, Worcestershire, and Reinbold, Somerset Lower adds Rumbaldus. compare the local Rumboldswyke, a parish in the Diocese Chichester. The surname has run riot in corrupted forms. The following is a curious proof of this statement:

'After the Dissolution, King Henry VIII, in the year 1545, granted the impropriate rectory (of Keteringham, Norfolk) to Robert Rumbold, alias Reynbald, and his heirs, to be held in capiu by knight's service; and in 1558, Anne wife of Benjamin Reynbald...had livery of it': History of Norfolk.

( English) Magnificently Bold [Anglo-Saxon Rumbold, Rumb(e)ald-rum, bountiful, noble, magnificent + -bold, b(e)ald, bold] (Teutonic) Famously or Gloriously Bold [Old Teutonic Hr(u)ombald, Ruombald, etc.-O.H.Ger. hruom, ruom = Old Saxon hróm = Dutch roem, fame, glory + O.H.Ger.
