A Raja (sometimes spelled Rajah) is a king, or princely ruler from the Kshatriya lineages.
Raja comes from the Sanskrit word rājan- (an n-stem with nominative rājā), and 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 *h₃reǵ- "to straighten, to order, to rule".
