yes, many are familiar with this name but native english speakers mostly don't know what it means unless they are fans

there is also Real/Reais --money in Brazil that was a replacement for the previous hyperinflated currency

and the cheese on most frozen pizzas here is "Made with Real™ cheese" which always makes me laugh.

and the word "realm", another related word, an old word for kingdom

oh yeah, not to forget

"rei" (ray) means king, and "reina" means queen. and of course "reign" means a period of dominance for something.

i'm pretty sure those words have a link to the common names, also

it's kinda interesting how the word "rei" and the word for a beam of light are the same... and that goes towards the notion of "god rays", a modern expression based on some funny old realism paintings from the 50s of scenes from the bible

i find it endlessly fascinating how these things connect together, so much that it distracts me from doing work, but my work is engineering and this sensitivity to unseen connections helps a lot

lol I know. When I was a kid I used to think it meant it was the Real Madrid. As opposed to a fake one. 😂

yeah like realDonaldTrump lol!

and i've even seen simping for trump like he's some kind of king

people are funny, bless this mess and all that

It’s very funny to watch.
