Type of Name:
Last Name
Language:
Dutch
Gender:
Male, Female
Alternate Spelling(s):
Original Dutch is Reijs
Additional Information:
Reys is a common anglicization of the Dutch last name of Reijs. This is in part due to the Dutch style script that puts the tail of the "Y" to the left, making the ij look much like a y with 2 dots over it.
One instance of this change occured when a branch of the family moved to Belgium.
The Reys spelling can also be traced back to Portugal. It is possible but not yet proven that the Dutch Reys family is a branch of the Portugese family or perhaps the Portuguese Reys are a branch or the Dutch family. Or both family names may have evolved independently. The Dutch name Reijs was first recorded in the early 1600s but there is no information about why the name was adopted in place of the previous Dutch surmane. The Spainish rule over the Dutch and the Spainish name "Reyes", meaning king, leads to speculation but no direct evidence of a Spainish origin.
