Régio

Régio is a proper noun used in several Romance-language contexts, without a single universally recognized referent. The name may function as a geographical toponym, a surname, or a fictional place name, depending on language, era, and regional usage.

Etymology and linguistic notes suggest a link to Latin regius, meaning royal. Through historical toponymy, Régio or Régio-like spellings have been used to denote royal or border domains, estates, or jurisdictions in medieval Latin and vernacular records. The exact form and pronunciation vary by language and local orthography.

Geography and usage are diverse but generally limited in contemporary contexts. As a toponym, Régio appears only in localized or historical references rather than as a well-defined current administrative region. As a surname, Régio (and its variants) occurs in Iberian and Latin American communities, often with lineage traced to places once associated with royal or noble lands. Modern attestations are sparse and typically relate to individual families rather than a distinct, widely mapped location.

Notable people and cultural references are limited in scope. There are no widely recognized figures or institutions universally identified by the name Régio. The term has occasionally appeared in fictional or speculative settings as a place name, but such usages are not part of an established, real-world geography.
