Modern American roots
Reign is the English word for a monarch's period of rule, from the Latin regnum meaning royal authority. Kourtney Kardashian named her son Reign Aston Disick in 2014, putting the word-name in the spotlight. Despite being used for a boy in that case, Reign has become predominantly a girls' name in the US charts. Its homophone Rain adds a natural-world dimension. The name represents the most assertive end of the word-name trend.
