Sanskrit rājan (185)

    According to Monier-Williams’ A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, rājan is derived from the root rāj, meaning “to reign, be king or chief, and rule over.” It refers to “a king, sovereign, prince, and chief.” It is linguistically related to Latin rex, Kelt rîg, Old Germam rik, Gothic reiks, Anglo-Saxon rice, and English rich. It traces its origin to the Tamil root aracaṉ through the transformation of aracaṉ > rājan. The following words, related to Sanskrit rājan, also originate from Tamil aracaṉ.
