By Douglas Cory • Updated October 5, 2026

Reese

Reese is the German term for the brand of peanut butter chocolate candies.

The term refers specifically to the brand name of these confectioneries.

Did you know?

Because Reese sounds similar to the German word Reise, which means 'journey', the two are occasionally played with in German advertising puns.
The name Reese is etymologically linked to the Middle Low German word rēse, which refers to a 'giant' or a 'very tall man'.

Hallo! Ich bin Douglas, a language enthusiast with a particular love for German language. My fascination began when saying "Absolut" after my first sip of German beer. I appreciate the unique expressiveness of this language, from practical phrases like "Wie viel kostet das?" to fun expressions like "Ich muss pinkeln". In my free time, I love experimenting with cooking—especially grilled cheese and milkshakes—and exploring the narratives in cinema, especially a dark knight. I believe in learning through teaching, which inspires the extensive guides I craft on German language nuances.
