Etymology

Reynard is an old European name for a fox that became famous in medieval stories like 'Reynard the Fox'. Because the clever character was so well known, the name Reynard even became the French word renard for 'fox', which is why Reynard is used as a traditional name for a sly, clever fox in tales today.
