Reinhard is a German masculine given name derived from the Germanic elements 'Ragin,' meaning 'advice' or 'counsel,' and '-hard,' meaning 'strong, brave.' The name has been used in Germany and Austria for centuries. Notable individuals bearing this name include Reinhard Heydrich (1904-1942), a high-ranking German Nazi official, and Reinhardt Grossmann (born 1965), an Austrian footballer.
