Raynell is a gender-neutral name with multiple fascinating origin stories. A bit of a mystery name, it's said to derive from the Old German name Raynor, which means "deciding warrior." Raynell may also have Scandinavian roots in the name Ragnar, which you may recall from the historical drama TV series Vikings. One of its leading roles depicts Ragnar Lothbrok, who, according to legends, was considered a hero among Viking forces. This ancient variant has a similar meaning of "strong counselor." Lastly, if baby has Hebrew roots, you'll love its musical translation of "she is singing" or "queen." Either way, you can expect baby to have some serious star power, whether they're on the stage or kicking butt in a wrestling match.
