Renard

Etymology
The name of the fox in the mediaeval Roman de Renart; originally Reinhard:, a Germanic personal name, from +  harti:.

Replaced goupil: (from Latin vulpecula:) by euphemism (properly, ) – mentioning the fox by name was considered bad luck, so Renart replaced it. Compare English bear: (from “brown”, in Proto-Indo-European) and Russian медведь:, literally “honey-eater”.
