Reis (surname)
Reis is a common surname in the Portuguese language, namely in Portugal and Brazil. It was originally a Christian devotional family name of the Middle Ages, probably due to the Portuguese name for the Biblical Magi, the ''Reis Magos'' (the Magi Kings). Sometimes the surname is ''dos Reis'' (''of the Kings''). The Reis surname does not denote a single genealogical origin and there are many families bearing that surname. The Reis etymology is probably from the Latin ''Rex'' (" King"), and it is noticeable that it has relations with the German '' Reich'' ("Kingdom, Empire"), and the Dutch ''Rijk'' (also "Kingdom, Empire"), the Germanic names Rick, Rich, Richard, etc. The Spanish version of this surname is Reyes. Reis is also a common surname in the German language (where its alternative meaning is "rice"), a historically famous epithet derived from military rank in Turkey (e.g., Piri Reis), and was also used by some European Jews. It is a name associated with a great numbe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Traditional rank amongst European royalty, peers, and nobility is rooted in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Although they vary over time and among geographic regions (for example, one region's prince might be equal to another's grand duke), the following is a reasonably comprehensive list that provides information on both general ranks and specific differences. Distinction should be made between reigning (or formerly reigning) families and the nobility – the latter being a social class subject to and created by the former.

Reis (military Rank)

Examples include: * Piri "Reis" * Turgut "Reis" * Uluç Ali "Reis" * Hizir "Reis" * Seydi Ali "Reis" * Oruç "Reis" The rank ''Reis Pasha'' referred to an Admiral, while the Kapudan Pasha (akin to Grand Admiral; literally "Captain Pasha") title referred to the commander-in-chief of the Ottoman Navy fleet. The rank is also a quasi-aristocratic title in Lebanon and Syria's coastlines denoting a landed or formerly landed family that swore fealty to Fakhr al-Din II during their alliance with the Medici in the 17th century. It is roughly equivalent to a Baron, however titles of the Ottoman and subordinate nobility seldom translates to Western peerages.
