Meaning of Royal

Royal is the kind of name that steps into the room wearing a golden cape and still offers a friendly high-five. It springs from the Old French “roial,” tied to the Latin “regalis,” so its roots are soaked in the idea of a crown, a throne, and a little dash of “¡Viva el Rey… o la Reina!” Because it’s unisex, Royal hands the scepter to boys and girls alike, reminding every child that greatness is not about gender but about corazón. Parents love its crisp sound—ROY-uhl—easy to say, hard to forget. Over the decades, the name has risen and dipped like a royal banner in the breeze, yet it keeps marching forward, now sitting comfortably in the U.S. Top 400. Think velvet dignity with sneaker energy: a title that whispers legacy while nudging its bearer to rule their own story with kindness and flair.
