Ranald

Help your kiddo build trust in themselves with the masculine name Ranald. This Scottish moniker is an Anglicized form of the Irish and Scottish Gaelic name Raghnall, which comes from the Norse Ragnvaldr. A cognate of the Germanic Reynold, Ragnvaldr passes the meanings "advice of the sovereign," "powerful counsel," and "ruler's counsel" on to Ranald from the elements regin and valdr. Ranald has a Scottish charm to it, making it perfect for the little guy with a lively personality.
