Bai or baisaheb is a suffix added to the name of female members of the Hindu dynasties, e.g. Shantabai. It is also used as an honorific for the elder sister amongst the Marathi-speaking people. This type of suffix is also used in several warrior castes and in some of the tribal castes, for example the Lambadi.
