Raja
Raja (IAST Rājan-) is a noble or royal Sanskrit title historically used by rulers and monarchs across parts of South Asia and Southeast Asia. It traditionally denotes a king, sovereign, or high-ranking noble who held authority over a kingdom or territory.
The title has a long history in South Asia and Southeast Asia, being attested as early as the Rigveda, where Rājan- refers to a ruler or tribal chief among the Rigvedic tribes. A notable example is the daśarājñá yuddhá, commonly translated as the “Battle of the Ten Kings,” which highlights the early political and military significance of the term.
The title has equivalent cognates in other Indo-European languages, notably the Latin Rex and the Celtic Rix.
The Maratha title "Rao" functions as both a given name and an honorific title, derived from words like the Sanskrit "Rājā" meaning "king," is a associated with the Kshatriya varna and can be considered a Kshatriya title.
