History & Origin
Reino is a Finnish masculine name, usually read as a Finnish form connected to the Germanic element ragin, 'counsel' or 'decision', which also underlies Reinhold and Reginald. By coincidence it matches the Finnish and Spanish word reino, 'kingdom'. In the United States the name belonged almost entirely to Finnish immigrant families, concentrated in the upper Midwest and New England.
Reino crested around 1916, at the height of Finnish immigration, and faded as later generations assimilated. A boy named Reino then would belong to the great-grandfather generation, though the name has trickled on unusually late in a few families. It reads as a distinct Finnish heritage name with no wider revival.
