Reggio Calabria Italian name comes from the Greek name Rhegion.
It was founded by Greek colonists pretty much at the same time as the foundation of Rome. Reggio Emilia name comes from the Latin regium.

Under Roman rule, Reggio Calabria was Regium too. And its original foundation is actually likely to pre-date the Greeks...

I never denied it, I just explained that the origin of the name is completely different and it was translated in Latin from the ancient Greek name.
