Where did the English Rynard family come from? What is the English Rynard family crest and coat of arms? When did the Rynard family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Rynard family history?

The rich and ancient history of the Rynard family name dates back to the time of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It comes from the baptismal name Rainer, which was taken from the Old Germanic name Raginhari which means counsel and army. Baptismal names began to appear as surnames relatively late in the growth of the naming tradition. This is a little surprising, given the popularity of biblical figures in the Christian countries of Europe. Nevertheless, surnames derived from baptismal names grew in popularity during the Middle Ages, and have become one of the foremost sources for surnames.
