'''Reis''' is a common [[surname]] in the Portuguese language, namely in [[Portugal]] and [[Brazil]]. It was originally a [[Christian]] devotional [[family name]] of the [[Middle Ages]], probably due to the Portuguese name for the [[Biblical Magi]], the ''Reis Magos'' (the [[Magus|Magi]] [[Monarch|Kings]]). Sometimes the surname is ''dos Reis'' (''of the Kings''). The Reis surname does not denote a single [[Genealogy|genealogical]] origin and there are many different families bearing that surname. The Reis etymology is probably from the Latin ''Rex'' ("[[King]]"), and it is noticeable that it has relations with the [[German language|German]] ''[[Reich]]'' ("Kingdom, Empire"), and the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] ''[[Rijk]]'' (also "Kingdom, Empire"), the Germanic names Rick, Rich, [[Richard]], etc. The [[Spanish language|Spanish]] version of this surname is [[Reyes]].

'''Reis''' is also a common [[surname]] in the [[German language]] (where its alternative meaning is "rice"), a historically famous epithet derived from military rank in [[Turkey]] (e.g., [[Piri Reis]]), and was also used by some European [[Jews]].
