Reggie

Reggie is an English diminutive of Reginald, which derives from the Old High German name Raginald, composed of the elements ragin, meaning counsel or decision, and wald, meaning rule or power. The name therefore carries the broad sense of powerful ruler or wise ruler. Reggie gained independent use as a given name, particularly in British and American English-speaking cultures, and has been borne by various sportsmen and musicians who helped establish it as a standalone identity. Related forms include Reginald, Reynold, Ronald, and the Scandinavian Ragnvald.
