Raj
Means "ruler" there
Raj is a male given name common in South Asia, derived from the Sanskrit word for king or ruler.
Raj called to say he'd be late.
It appears both as a standalone name and as an element in longer names like Rajesh or Rajendra. (Lowercase raj refers to rule or sovereignty, especially British rule in India.)
