Forms:

α. 1500s raiáh, 1500s–1700s raia, 1600s raiaw, 1600s–1700s raiah, 1600s–1700s raya, 1700s raïa.

β. 1600s radgee, 1600s raga, 1600s ragae, 1600s ragea, 1600s ragià, 1600s–1700s radja, 1600s–1700s ragia, 1600s–1700s roger, 1600s– raja, 1600s– rajah, 1700s– (now chiefly in raja shelduck n. and raja sheldrake n.) radjah.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Hindi. Partly a borrowing from Marathi. Partly a borrowing from Sanskrit. Etymons: Hindi rāyā; Marathi rāyā; Sanskrit rājan.

Etymology: Partly (in α. forms) < Hindi †rāyā (or its equivalents in related languages, e.g. Marathi †rāyā), extended form of rāy king ( < Sanskrit rājan : see below), and partly (in β. forms) directly < Sanskrit rājan (nominative rājā) king, prince, sovereign < rāj- to rule < the same Indo-European base as classical Latin rēg- , rēx king (see rex n.¹). Compare French †raia (c1525 in Middle French, apparently not fully naturalized),rajah (1628 as raja, as title; 1659 as noun; partly via Portuguese), †radzia (1664), †ragia (1665), †raya (1688), Portuguese rajá (1540 as raja), †raia, †raya (1602); also Indian Persian rāja (a1627 or earlier).Perhaps compare also classical Latin Rachias, the name of the leader of an Indian embassy to the Emperor Claudius (only in Pliny, perhaps originally representing a title).

Frequently with capital initial. Originally: an Indian king or prince. Later extended to a petty chief or dignitary (cf. zamindar n.) or a member of the Hindu nobility in India; a Malay or Javanese ruler or chief. Also as title. Cf. maharaja n.

Forms: 1600s– raia, 1600s– raja, 1800s raiae (plural), 1800s rajae (plural).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin raia.

Etymology: < classical Latin raia (plural raiae ), of unknown origin. Compare earlier ray n.³

Zoology.

Originally: a skate or ray. Later: spec. a genus of skates or rays of the family Rajidae; (also raja) a fish of this genus (now rare).Valid publication of the genus name: Linnaeus Systema Naturae (ed. 10, 1758) I. 231.The genus name was commonly spelt Raia until the mid 20th cent., but Linnaeus has Raja, so this is the taxonomically valid spelling.
