Rayner

Rayner is a boy name with Germanic roots.

Pronunciation: American English /ˈɹeɪ.nəɹ/; British English /ˈɹeɪ.nə/.

This name comes from the Germanic name Raginheri, composed of the elements regin "advice, counsel, decision" and heri "army". Saint Rainerius was a 12th-century hermit from Pisa. The Normans brought this name to England where it came into general use, though it was rare by the end of the Middle Ages.
