  Prince, Princess.  
<< Priest.      Principality. >>

The only special uses of the word "prince" are --
  1. "Princes of provinces" ( 1 Kings 20:14 ) who were probably local governors or magistrates.
  2. The "princes" mentioned in ( Daniel 6:1 ) (see Esth 1:1 ) wore the predecessors of the satraps of Darius Hystaspes. The word princess is seldom used in the Bible, but the persons to which it alludes-- "daughters of kings" are frequently mentioned.
