Hime

Hime (姫, literally translated as Princess) is a princess or a lady of higher birth. Daughters of a monarch are actually referred to by other terms, e.g. Ōjo, literally king's daughter, even though Hime can be used to address Ōjo.

Naming
The word Hime initially referred to any beautiful female. The antonym of Hime is Shikome, literally ugly female, though it is archaic and rarely used. Hime may also indicate feminine or simply small when used together with other words, such as Hime-gaki (a low line of hedge).
