Rainier

Most famously associated with Prince Rainier III of Monaco, this name carries a European elegance and aristocratic history. Its origins lie in the Latin 'Reginarius', borrowed into French to mean 'wise warrior'. This strong, yet graceful name conjures images of Mount Rainier in Washington, adding a natural grandeur to its appeal. Though not widely common, it offers a fresh twist on classic names like Raymond. Variations such as Ray and Rainer can serve as nicknames, providing flexibility for everyday use.
