I thought that "real" meant "true"..
Why are we using "real" in that case?!!
I don't know if my question is clear..
(I'm looking for a good name for my futur website, that's why I'm putting this question in this category)

Well, these answers are right and wrong. When you apply for a real estate license, you learn that the term "real" relates to a king and and "estate" is the rights and interest you have in something. At one time, only kings could own land. They took it or gave it according to the loyalty of their supporters. It literally means the king's right to land. "El Camino Real" is a common Spanish street name in the U.S. and it means "the King's Road". The term "real estate" has evolved to mean land and includes the improvements attached to it.

You have the right idea meaning "true".
The term "Real" in Real Estate generally means physical property such as land and buildings (as opposed to Intellectual Property)

I think the "Real" is short for "Realty which means a piece of land (including the air above it and ground below it). That's just my guess though.

Real = realis (late latin from Latin res = thing)
Real = Royal (Spanish), descended fron regalis)
