PERSIAN (ACHAEMENID) EMPIRE SATRAPS (BY NAME):
The
Greek word satrap comes from the word 'khshathrapan' or similar,
seemingly a Median word meaning 'protector of the realm'. The
Old Persian form is 'khshasapawan' but, as both forms are used
so rarely in English language texts, the Greek version has
been retained throughout these pages.
