Etymology

From reial (royal), although the -me ending is unexplained. Perhaps influenced by a derivative of Latin regimen; cf. the form reaume. A Vulgar Latin *regalimen has been postulated. More likely an alteration of the form reiame, reaume with influence from reial.

Noun

reialme oblique singularm (oblique plural reialmes, nominative singular reialmes, nominative plural reialme)

  1. kingdom
