This is Real

The word "real" is a Spanish word. Real means "royal" in Spanish.

In times gone by, only royalty could own land. Anyone else living on land was considered a subject, peasant, peon, and worse.

This is why land is called real property (as opposed to personal property). Real property means royal property, only royalty could own it. Real estate means royal estate!

Now you know what is meant by the old adage "A man's home is his castle (kingdom)."

It truly is. Own your own home, you're a king (In your own home, of course).
