Reginald
Stately old-fashioned name
Reginald is a masculine given name of Germanic origin, from elements meaning "counsel" and "power." Once common in formal British contexts, it now sounds old-fashioned or stuffy to many ears.
The nickname Reggie offers a more casual alternative: Reginald—or Reggie, as everyone called him—arrived late.
