Originating from Latin and German, the boy’s name Reginald means “ruling with power” or “advice of the sovereign.” With its stately air and handsome chime, Reginald has been reigning supreme in the popularity lists for centuries. Some recognizable figures that bear this name include Elton John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, and Star Trek character Reginald Barclay.
