  Regnal name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A regnal name, or reign name, is a formal name used by a monarch or pope during his or her reign.
The new name (or sometimes the old one, confirmed) is followed by an ordinal to give a unique name for the period when the monarch is on the throne.
The new King declared that he chose the name Edward as an honored name borne by six of his predecessors, and that he did not wish to diminish the status of his father with whom alone among royalty the name Albert should be associated.

However several antipopes have taken the name Peter II, but their claims are not recognized and their following is so small that it's nearly non-existent.
Furthermore, Prince Albert, Duke of York, the Heir Presumptive, took on the regnal name of George VI when he inherited the throne in 1936 for the same reason; as he was not the eldest son, he was christened as Albert due to the fact that he had not been expected to become king.
Most current and recent European monarchs have used their first one or two given names, including Albert II of the Belgians, Juan Carlos I of Spain, Beatrix of the Netherlands, Margrethe II of Denmark, Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, and the former Constantine II of the Hellenes.

 Chinese_era_name   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
A Chinese era name (traditional Chinese: 年號, simplified Chinese: 年号, pinyin nían hào) is the era name, reign period, or regnal title used when traditionally numbering years in an emperor's reign and naming certain Chinese rulers (see the conventions).
Jianzhongjingguo (建中靖國 jian4 zhong1 jing4 guo2), the first era name of Emperor Huizong of Song China, means "establishing a happy medium and cleansing the country", reflecting his idealism towards moderating the rivalry among the conservative and progressive parties on political and social reformation.
In addition, using a particular era name was a political act implying recognition of a sovereign's right to rule, and one issue that traditional Chinese historians faced was which set of era names to use when dating a historical event.

The reign name was not actually the personal name of the emperor; it technically named period of his reign.
Emperors did have personal names, but these were taboo to the populace and occur in historical sources only in the case of revolutionaries who became emperor only after their personal names were already known.
Thus it is conventional in Chinese to precede the name of the emperor with the name of the dynasty: Tá Gāo zōng (reign number 12a3 in these tables).

Before the Ming dynasty, emperors often changed their reign names every few years, so only the more stable dynastic names are normally used, and they alone are given here (the "reign name" columns being blank).
During the Ming and Qing periods, however, only one reign name was used per reign, and, inconsistently, historians refer to those reigns by the reign names rather than the dynastic names.

 Chinese History - Rulers and titles (www.chinaknowledge.org)
Chinese rulers were not named and counted by their personal name like in Europe (for instance, William I. the Conqueror), but with the honorific title "the Upper" (shang 上) or the epithet "Down of the stairs to the throne" (in order to avoid a direct addressing to the ruler; bixia 陛下).
Some rulers do not have a temple name or posthumous title (deposed, minors, and last rulers), and the rulers of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Ten States are listed with their personal name although they had a temple name and posthumous title.
One part of posthume names of rulers are the ruling ranks, according to the ruling rank during lifetime.

Again, the name accords often with some remarkable and rare circumstance in the pope's career; thus Peregrinus apostolicus (pilgrim pope), which designates Pius VI, appears to be verified by his journey when pope into Germany, by his long career as pope, and by his expatriation from Rome at the end of his pontificate.
We need not have recourse either to the family names, armorial bearings or cardinalatial titles, to see the fitness of their designations as given in the prophecies.
The afflictions and crosses of Pius IX were more than fell to the lot of his predecessors; and the more aggravating of these crosses were brought on by the House of Savoy whose emblem was a cross.

At his death, Chulalongkorn's reign was the longest in the country's history (a record that has since been surpassed by King Bhumibol, his grandson).
The far-reaching effect of his reforms was such that they have been described as a "revolution" -- and the country was fortunate in experiencing under his rule all the progressive change the word entails but none of the dislocation and excess.
