What Does the Name Royale Mean?
Royale is the feminine form of the French adjective royal, meaning "royal" or "regal." The French word descends from Old French roial and reial, which come from Latin regalis, "of a king, kingly, regal." That Latin adjective is based on rex (genitive regis), "king." In French, royal is masculine and royale is feminine, so the name carries the literal sense "royal" rather than a separate symbolic meaning. English royal was borrowed from the same Old French source, and Royale is used in English as a feminine given name derived from that word family.
Royale Name History & Origins
The Latin regalis belonged to the vocabulary of kingship and was applied to persons, places, and things associated with a king. Through Old French it became roial and reial, and English borrowed it as royal in the Middle Ages. French kept the adjective with masculine royal and feminine royale; the feminine spelling appears in English phrases borrowed from French, such as battle royale. As a personal name, Royale is an English feminine use of this royal word, generally understood as a counterpart to the masculine or unisex name Royal. The spelling keeps the French feminine ending -e. It does not have a separate origin apart from the French adjective.
