Etymology

Reis is a family name found in places like Portugal and Germany. In Portuguese it comes from rei 'king', so it often meant someone 'of the kings' or a family linked to the Three Kings, while in German the same spelling can come from other old words and even looks like Reis 'rice' today. So the surname Reis usually points to different local stories or origins depending on the country.
