King, prince, or ruler
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'raja', this name historically denotes a monarch or princely ruler in India and Southeast Asia. While traditionally masculine in its cultural origin, it has gained some unisex appeal in the West due to its soft phonetic ending. It carries a sense of ancient dignity and leadership.
