Reginald (given name) 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. Today "Reginald" is regarded as a very formal name, and bearers generally shorten their name to "Reg" in ordinary usage. "Reggie" is a pet form of "Reg".
