begum
South Asian aristocrat
A begum is a Muslim woman of high rank, especially in South Asia—the wife or widow of a bey or other dignitary.
The title functions like a courtesy title for aristocratic women: The begum received guests in the main hall.
It appears in historical contexts and occasionally as part of proper names.
