Raja
A Rajah, translated means a
King. A Raja (
Sanskrit ) is a
king, or princely ruler from the
Kshatriya /
Rajput lineages. The title has a long history in the
Indian subcontinent and
Southeast Asia, being attested from the
Rigveda.
Sanskrit word in an n-stem, with nominative . It is cognate to
Latin rēx, the
Gaulish rīx etc. (originally denoting tribal chiefs or heads of small 'city states'), ultimately a
vrddhi derivation from a
PIE root "to straighten, to order, to rule".Rather common variants in Hindi, used for the same royal rank in (parts of) India include Rana, Rao, Raol, Rawal and Rawat. The female form, 'queen', mainly used for a Raja's wife, is Rani (sometimes spelled Ranee), from Sanskrit (compare
Old Irish rígain).
