Baby Names Meaning King, Queen, or Royal

Royal names carry a certain weight. Parents who choose them tend to do it quietly, for the sound and the inheritance. This list gathers baby names whose root meaning is king, queen, or ruler.

Regina (Latin, 'queen'), Rex (Latin, 'king'), Malik (Arabic, 'king'), Malika (Arabic, 'queen'), Sarah (Hebrew, 'princess'), and Basil (Greek, 'kingly') all belong here. The theme is one of the oldest continuous naming traditions.

A royal name is a wish made in an old language. Parents rarely say 'I want my child to be a king' out loud, but a name can carry that hope for them.
