Wikipedia 
- Shah is a Persian word which means the king or ruler of a country. This word is used in different countries in the world, including Iran, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The shah is mostly used to mean the male monarch (or "king") of Iran, during the long-lasting Iranian monarchy. The Iranian monarchy was overthrown in 1951, and a country headed by a Prime Minister with a parliamentary legislative body, the "Majlis", was established. Mohammad Mossadeq was the Prime Minister. However, in 1953, the US launched a coup, replacing Mossadeq with the Shah, who was in Rome. Many Indian names which have "shah" in them; the most famous of them is Shah Jahan, who is the king of India who ordered the creation of Taj Mahal. One possible etymology of the chess term "checkmate" is the Persian "shah mat", meaning "the king cannot escape"
