A masculine given name of Old Norse origin meaning 'ruler's advisor' or 'mighty counselor'.
From Old Norse 'Rǫgnvaldr', combining 'regin' (gods, divine powers) and 'valdr' (ruler, power). The name came to Scotland through Norse settlement and spread throughout the English-speaking world.
Ronald McDonald and Ronald Reagan share a name that literally means 'divine ruler' - quite fitting for figures who achieved iconic status! The name traveled from Viking longships to become one of the most recognizable names in 20th-century America.
