Regis

Meaning of Regis

Regis springs from the Latin word regis, meaning “of the king,” and it marches through history like a tiny royal parade. It’s unisex, so it can crown a daughter or a son with equal grace. This name has danced through medieval courts, lit up the pages of saints’ tales—especially Saint John Francis Regis—and even graced the credits of talk-show legend Regis Philbin. When you say RAY-jis, it pirouettes on the tongue, balancing old-world regality with modern warmth. It’s a name that invites little ones to wear their own crowns of kindness and courage from day one.
