Etymology[edit]

From Pali uparāja, from upa- (inferior; deputy; vice) +‎ rāja (king); or from Sanskrit उपराज (uparāja), from उप- (upa-, inferior; deputy; vice) +‎ राज (rāja, king); perhaps via Old Khmer ūpparāja (vice king); equivalent to Thai อุป (ùp) +‎ ราช (râat). Cognate with Modern Khmer ឧបរាជ (ʼupaʼraac); Burmese ဥပရာဇာ (u.pa.raja); Lao ອຸບປະຫຣາດ (ʼup pa rāt), ອຸປະລາດ (ʼu pa lāt).
