Prince means "Prince" — the English royal-title word, from Latin princeps ("first one, leader").

Prince functions as a direct English word/title name; in the US it is inseparable in public perception from musician Prince Rogers Nelson, whose stage name (inherited from his father's own jazz-musician stage name "Prince Rogers") reshaped the word into a globally recognized personal name.
