Meaning of Reign

Reign glides into the naming landscape like a single stroke of sumi-ink across rice paper—born of the English word for sovereign rule, distilled from Latin regnum, and pronounced with the clean clarity of falling rain—carrying within its unisex frame the quiet authority of a crown and the soft hush of mist settling on a Kyoto garden at dawn; it mirrors Japan’s tradition of nengō, those era names that set the cadence of history—Meiji, Heisei, Reiwa—thereby weaving connotations of poised leadership, renewal, and harmonious order into one crisp syllable, a title whose ascent through recent American birth records echoes bamboo rising segment by segment toward pale spring light.
