Reinholdt is a rare and unique given name of German origin. It is derived from the Germanic elements "ragin" meaning "counsel" or "advice," and "hiltja" which means "battle." Thus, Reinholdt translates to "powerful battle." The name Reinholdt has a rich history dating back to medieval Germany. It was borne by several notable figures throughout the centuries. One of the most famous bearers of this name was Reinhold von Kaufman, a 13th-century German knight who fought in the Battle of Bannberg.

It is considered quite uncommon, even in Germany, and is rarely encountered outside of Germany and other Germanic countries.
