Royal title names: King, Reign, Royal
20 names · 4 girls · 16 boys · records through 2025

This guide has 20 names: 4 girl names and 16 boy names. A curated set of royal and noble title words matched against the latest US records; only names in real use appear. Built from US Social Security birth records through 2025. Tap + beside any name to keep it on your shortlist as you read.
Before the names
It is not the same as the royal-names guide, which lists people who actually wore crowns. Here the word is the whole point.
Only titles that genuinely appear in the records are listed, each with its live national rank.
