Frequently Asked Questions
Name, History & Etymology
History
The word "regalia" entered English from Medieval Latin 'regalia', which is the neuter plural of 'regalis' meaning 'royal'. Initially, it referred specifically to the 'rights and prerogatives of a sovereign' (jura regalia). Over time, its meaning broadened to include the 'ensigns and symbols of royalty', such as crowns, scepters, and other ceremonial objects. By the 18th century, it was also used to describe the distinctive dress or insignia of an order or office, and later, any elaborate or formal clothing. The modern usage often refers to the symbols of office or membership in any group, not just royalty.
First Recorded Use
