Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Royalty is a girl's and boy's baby name of Old French origin, from the Old French roialte meaning 'the state of being royal' — kingly or queenly dignity, sovereignty, and the privileges of a monarch. As a given name, it's a declaration of the child's inherent worth and nobility.
Royalty is among the most unambiguous aspiration names in contemporary American naming — it leaves no room for interpretation. Rapper Chris Brown named his daughter Royalty in 2014, bringing it to mainstream attention. For parents who want their child to know from day one that she was born for something extraordinary, Royalty says it plainly.
