Ratu usually refers to a title used by Fijians of chiefly rank, and also to Javanese word to refer the leaders, especially kings or nobles. Ratu is also a word from Indonesian language which means "queen". Also Balinese ratu ‘king’, Wayan rātū ‘head of a clan, the title given to one who has been installed as chief’, Samoan lātū ‘person in charge of an undertaking, e.g. a party of builders, or, in the case of women, a weaving bee’.
