  Hi,
  the familyname REIS comes from the "Mittelhochdeutsch" - this was the language spoken about the 12th century and at this time the name was "RIS" and means the area near a river. If you want, I can send you some about the name and the first time using in Germany. RAIS om Franconia - but only in Franconia - was an ordinary soldier in the 15th century. Best regards Gerhard Reiss from Bavaria/Germany.

  Earlier in this forum (14 SEP 1999) Barbara Doll wrote (which I did not know and find very interesting):
  
  "My information is that the name "Reis", which is the same root as the word for travel, trip or traveller, originated in Middle German as the name for a knight, who would obviously be one of the few in society who would actually make a trip or take a journey. In theory, the knights may have been the group who introduced the grain "rice" to the population. The grain also goes by the same name, "reis". "
