6 ANSWERS


  1. Koroleva/ Tsaritsa - Russian

    Malika - Persian


  2. Kaiser = Emperor, Kaiserin = Empress,  German

    Most European Names for for royalty come from the roman Caesar.

    Pharaoh could also be used for a ruling Queen in Egypt.

  3. Sultana - used for a few Muslim women rulers in history, who claimed almost full sovereignty over a kingdom, in other words the lack of dependence on any higher ruler.

    Empress - used for a few Chinese, Japanese, Korean women rulers in history who was the sovereign ruler of an empire or another type of imperial realm.

    Candace - was the title for female rulers of the ancient African empire of Kush. Kush is also known in classical Greek and Roman texts as Ethiopia.

    Tsaritsa/Tsarina/Czarina - was the title of a female autocratic monarch, which is political power is held by a single self-appointed ruler of Bulgaria or Russia.

  4. In English, the only word that means king is "king" and possibly also "tsar", which is a loan word. Rajahs are not styled "His Majesty" in English so they are not considered equal to king in our language. If you are looking for *translations* of the word king, I suggest looking to translation websites. I have linked a website which provides translations of "king" in European languages.

    One would have to see what kings and queens like Elizabeth II and Juan Carlos of Spain are called in other languages to find the equivalent titles.

  5. The word "Regina" is Latin for "queen"...Russian royalty called their emperors/kings and female counterparts "czars" and "czarinas".  Hope this helps!

  6. Dame - French
