Prabhu
Prabhu means master or the Prince 〔(Bhakti Yoga Dictionary ) 〕 in Sanskrit and many of the Indian languages; it is a name sometimes applied to God.〔(The Master's Glossary )〕 The term is also used by male devotees of the Hindu deity Lord Krishna/Vishnu as a title and form of address. If a man sees another male devotee whom he does not know, he will address him as "Prabhu". It is also appended after a devotee's name, for example "Madhava Prabhu". In Indonesia, especially in Javanese and Sundanese culture, the term is used as a part of royal titles, especially to address Kings.
== As a surname ==
It is also a common surname among Konkani speaking people across the Konkan Coast in India, from Maharashtra to Kerala and Tamil Nadu.〔''Sarasvati's Children: A History of the Mangalorean Christians'' (1999), Alan Machado Prabhu, I.J.A. Publications, p. 137〕 According to historian Anant Ramkrishna Sinai Dhume, Prabhu was a title accorded to the representative of the main village of the ''taluka'' (district) committee.〔 The Prabhus may have also occupied official posts in the central administration, without prejudice to their original posts which were hereditary.〔 Traditionally, a Prabhu was a landlord and as such a master to the many agricultural labourers that were needed to cultivate his lands.〔''The Last Prabhu – A Hunt for Roots: DNA, Ancient documents and migration in Goa'' (2011), Bernardo Elvino de Sousa, Goa 1556, p. 89〕
Prabhu is also a common first name among Tamils in Southern India.
