覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Reynold は男性の名で、文中では大文字にする。ゲルマン系人名の「助言・知恵」と「支配・力」に当たる要素から成り、Reginald や Ronald と歴史的につながる。一般的な姓 Reynolds とは末尾の s の有無を区別し、Reynold's なら所有格のアポストロフィーにも注意する。
Treat Reynold as a masculine personal name, not as an ordinary vocabulary word. Its old Germanic name elements conveyed the ideas of counsel or wisdom and rule or power, providing the memory image of someone who “rules with wise counsel.” Link it historically with related names such as Reginald and Ronald. Pay close attention to the ending: Reynold is the given name, whereas Reynolds, with final s, is commonly a surname. In a form such as Reynold's research, the apostrophe plus s marks possession and is not part of the name itself.

reynold の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ゲルマン語の人名「Raginwald」に由来し、ragin（助言・知恵）+ wald（支配・力）で「知恵で治める者」の意。古フランス語を経てReynold/Reginaldとなった。関連名にRonald、Reginalがあり、いずれも同じ語根を持つ。
Reynold descends from a Germanic personal name represented by forms such as Raginwald. Its two elements meant roughly “counsel” or “advice” and “rule” or “power.” The name passed through Old French forms before becoming established in English, where it developed alongside Reginald and related names. Ronald shares corresponding Germanic elements through a different historical form. Reynold has been used as a masculine given name and has also contributed to patronymic surnames such as Reynolds.
