Meaning & Origin

Reggy is a boy's baby name, an affectionate variant spelling of Reggie, the popular nickname for Reginald — from the Germanic Raginwald meaning 'wise ruler' or 'counsel-power.' Reggie has been used as both a standalone name and a nickname throughout the 20th century.

Reggy captures all the warm, informal friendliness of Reggie with an alternate spelling. It carries the same easy-going British and American charm — the kind of name that feels equally at home on a cricket pitch or a baseball diamond, friendly and unpretentious.
