rani

/ ˈrɑːnɪ /

Origin of rani¹

C17: from Hindi: queen, from Sanskrit rājñī , feminine of rājan rajah

The rani put herself at the head of the rebels, and died bravely in battle.

He married two wives: Pritha, who was chief rani, and Madri, whom he loved best.

The rani of Jhansi also rose in rebellion, to become known as “the best man upon the side of the enemy.”

He then sent the rani somewhere on an errand, and hid himself in a corner of the room from whence he could see the banjo.

The Raja refused to do this, so the Rani took up her baby and went out of the house with it in a rage.
