Reynard Family History
Reynard Name Meaning
English and French: from a Germanic personal name composed of the
elements ragin ‘counsel’ + hard ‘hardy’, ‘brave’,
‘strong’, which was introduced into England by the Normans in the form
Re(i)nard. This was the name borne by the cunning fox in the
popular medieval cycle of beast tales, with the result that from the
13th century it began to replace the previous Old French word for the
animal. Some French examples may be nicknames for crafty individuals,
referring to the fox’s reputation for cunning.
