History & Origin

Rhoyal is a fresh spelling of Royal, the English word for 'kingly', which came from Old French roial and Latin regalis. Royal has been rising as a given name in the U.S. as part of the wave of aspirational word names (King, Legend, Reign), and Rhoyal is one of its ornamented spellings, which we note (said 'ROY-ul').

This spelling appears only very rarely in U.S. use. Very rare, bold, and modern.

Did you know? Royal comes through Old French from Latin regalis, 'of a king' — the same root as regal and Rex. Rhoyal is the modern, decorated spelling of that word name, which we note (said 'ROY-ul').
