Reinhard

Reinhard is a male given name and a family name .

Origin and meaning

The name Reinhard is a masculine proper name , actually a first name , but as a patronymic it is often used as a family name . It is a compound word derived from the Old High German words ragin ('advice, advice') and harti ('strong'), meaning “the advisable, the good advisor.” With the derivation of “pure” and “heart” occasionally given as an alternative “(From Low German, hard 'heart') is probably a freely invented folk etymology , also because this name is most common in High German and less often in Low German areas.

Reinhard is originally a property name ( nickname ) that is supposed to identify the person as a good advisor . For this reason he calls the fox a mythical creature (German in the Middle Ages Reinhard Fuchs, later Reineke Fuchs ). This association was so widespread that e.g. B. in French the name Reynard completely replaced the previous term for fox, goupil (today: French renard, "fox"). Accordingly, the name can also refer to those who were considered to be fox-like, e.g. B. because of her red hair or her cunning manner.
