A transferred name from Rires KCQ, the caput or chief place of one branch of the family of Wemyss, who were principal land-holders in this part of Leuchars for several centuries. The farmstead of Reres LEU stood about 600 m south-south-east of Earlshall and is now under RAF Leuchars aerodrome. However, the name has survived in Reres Wood (OS Pathf. NO483212).
