Regiss is Latin in Origin.

Regiss is a modern respelling of the name Regis, ultimately from Latin rex, genitive regis, meaning king or of the king. Through medieval French, Régis emerged as both surname and given name, most visibly borne by the Jesuit missionary Saint Jean-François Régis (1597–1640), whose canonization helped spread the name in France and the wider Catholic world. In English, Regis has seen modest use, familiar from broadcaster Regis Philbin; Regiss remains rare and contemporary, often chosen to give the classic core a distinctive twist.

Variants and related forms include Régis (French), Regis (English/Portuguese), and the nicknames Reg or Rege; Reggie may occur by analogy. Feminine counterparts are Régine and Regina. Cognates tied to the same royal root include Rex and Roy. The name conveys a succinct regal meaning without overt grandeur, suiting parents seeking a sleek, international style.
