Adhiraj meaning
Adhiraj (अधिराज) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
An emperor, a supreme ruler over other kings
Adhiraj (अधिराज) is the Sanskrit adhirāja, from adhi-, "over, above", and rāja, "king": a king over other kings. Monier-Williams defines it simply as an emperor or supreme ruler. It belongs to the same family of royal titles as adhīśvara, "supreme lord", and mahārāja, "great king". Name lists give Adhiraj as "king" or "supreme ruler", which matches the dictionary. The name is used by Hindu and Sikh families.
