Renard

Meaning of Renard

Renard is a cheerful French male name pronounced ruh-NAHR and literally means “fox.” In medieval fables, Renard the Fox outwits giants and kings with a mix of charm and brainpower. It carries an adventurous spark, much like the clever fox in India’s Panchatantra tales, darting through challenges under Diwali lamps. In the U.S., it’s still a hidden gem—only eight newborns wore it in 2024, lifting its spot from 922 to 916. Though uncommon, its steady rise feels like a secret treasure uncovered by a few. Ideal for a baby boy seeking a blend of classic wit and modern cheer, Renard is fast-moving yet timeless, inspiring dreams of quick thinking and playful courage.
