The English word brahmin is an anglicised form of the Sanskrit word Brāhmaṇa, "having to do with Brahman (Sanskrit: ब्रह्म) or divine knowledge".Bahuns are also called Brahmins, Vipra "learned", or Dvija "twice-born".
In Buddhist sources written in Pali and Prakrit, including Ashokan inscriptions, they are also called Babhans which is the Pali word for Bahuns.
The Brahmins were a powerful group in medieval and modern Nepal and India until the 19th century.
