• 姫ひめ — princess; young noblewoman
• お姫様ひめさま — princess (polite form)
• 王姫おうき — royal princess (literary)
• 歌姫うたひめ — diva; star female singer
• 眠ねむり姫ひめ — “Sleeping Princess”; sleeping beauty

The kanji 姫 pairs the woman radical 女 with a phonetic element suggesting “rank” or “special.” Together they paint the image of a woman of high status — a cherished daughter or noble lady. In modern Japanese it appears both in formal words for princesses and in playful expressions like 歌姫 for a star singer.
