Raymond Smith Jr
Raymond is a male given name. It was borrowed into English from French (older French spellings were Reimund and Raimund (other), Raimund, whereas the modern English and French spellings are identical). It originated as the Germanic languages, Germanic ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᛗᚢᚾᛞ (''Raginmund'') or ᚱᛖᚷᛁᚾᛗᚢᚾᛞ (''Reginmund''). ''Ragin'' (Gothic language, Gothic) and ''regin'' (Old German) meant "counsel".
