What does Rey mean?
1 syllable

Rey is simply the Spanish word for "king," used both as a given name and as a royal title. It comes from the Latin "rex," the same root behind English words like "regal" and "royal."

Short and commanding, Rey suits a pet who carries themselves with a bit of natural swagger.
