Sahib (the female form is sahiba), from Arabic, originally "friend, companion," from sahiba "he accompanied", but later used for "Lord", is a Hindi and Bengali word meaning sir, master or, primarily, lord.
Princely styles
In British India in feudal and colonial times, Sahib was also a formal style, used on its own or as an additional title, for native aristocrats, including rulers of some princely states and/or certain members of their dynasties.
