Regia is Latin in Origin.
Regia stems from Latin regia, the feminine of regius “royal,” ultimately from rex, regis “king.” In classical usage it named the royal house in Rome and functioned as an adjective meaning “queenly” or “of the palace.” The word persists across Romance languages - Spanish regia and Portuguese régia mean “stately, splendid,” while Italian regìa, from the same root, denotes artistic “direction” - lending the name a cultured, dignified aura.
As a given name, Regia is rare but documented in Iberian and Latin American records, where it sometimes appears as a streamlined alternative to Regina and is colored by Marian and courtly associations. The meaning centers on “royal” and “noble bearing.” Variants and related forms include Portuguese Régia, Latin/International Regina, French Régine/Regine, and Reina or Raina in various languages. Occasional nicknames are Re, Rê (Portuguese), or Gia, though the name is often kept in full for its elegant brevity.
